#13293: git submodule update --depth 1: reference is not a tree
--------------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  listcrawler@…       |      Owner:  John Maddock
     Type:  Bugs                |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined    |  Component:  config
  Version:  Boost 1.65.0        |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  boostorg/boost.git  |
--------------------------------+--------------------------
 Shallow clone of super and sub projects does not work for release 1.65.1.
 Recreate with:

 {{{
 git clone --depth 1 --branch boost-1.65.1
 https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git boost
 git -C boost submodule init libs/config
 git -C boost submodule update --depth 1
 }}}

 yields:
 {{{
 fatal: reference is not a tree: 2c5de25f2d1aea9316129027e6617649a0e09e59
 }}}

 Update without depth 1 works fine:
 {{{
 git -C boost submodule update
 }}}

 Other libraries (context, core, fiber, system, tools/build) have the same
 problem.
