Subject: [Boost-build] Unable to checkout libs/context submodule from Boost git repo

Hello,

I'm trying to build Boost from the git repo https://github.com/boostorg and more specifically, this commit:

5ec478a570bdc71c5d4854e7165a8b3f4fa82ad9

I am compiling on Windows 7 x64 with VS 2015. It was working well until a few days ago.

Now, I get an error message when cloning the submodule 'libs/context'.

1> Cloning into 'libs/context'...
1>CUSTOMBUILD : error : no such remote ref 2ddbe4c26813134cdf8f0d169f70cd85f44b637b
1> Fetched in submodule path 'libs/context', but it did not contain 2ddbe4c26813134cdf8f0d169f70cd85f44b637b. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
1> CMake Error at Boost-prefix/tmp/Boost-gitclone.cmake:83 (message):
1> Failed to update submodules in:
1> 'C:/Users/Laurent/MyProject-build/Libraries-build/Boost/boost'

I checked, and the commit 2ddbe4c26813134cdf8f0d169f70cd85f44b637b exists in libs/context submodule (https://github.com/boostorg/context/commit/2ddbe), so I don't understand why it cannot find it anymore.

 If someone can help me, that would be great.

Thank you.
-Laurent
