I do not offhand recall anything; the closest I can think of is the three-patch series <20171016135623.GA12756@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> that taught the on-demand recursive fetch to pay attention to the location in the superproject tree a submodule is bound to. 4b4acedd61 submodule: simplify decision tree whether to or not to fetch c68f837576 implement fetching of moved submodules 01ce12252c fetch: add test to make sure we stay backwards compatible But IIRC, "submodule update" uses a separate codepath?
