I added some extra debugging output to the code in builtin-fetch.c and builtin-fetch-pack.c, and ended up with this:

   Receiving objects: 100% (14752/14752), 5.07 MiB | 3383 KiB/s, done.
   Resolving deltas: 100% (9278/9278), done.

   Unable to fetch in submodule path 'modules/foo'

This seems to indicate that fetch_refs() seems to think that the fetch (which is done over ssh) fails, whereas the regular trace output ("Receiving objects", etc.) indicates that it succeeds.

Is there anything obvious that I should have a look at here?

My next step otherwise is adding trace output to the transport_fetch_refs() and whatever it is it calls and that calls the code in builtin-fetch-pack.c. Anywhere in particular I should have a look at?
