Subject: Problem with --shallow-submodules option
Message-ID: <loom.20160620T145755-931@post.gmane.org>

Hello,

I'm working on a relatively big project with many submodules. During 
cloning for testing I tried to decrease the amount of data need to be 
fetched from the server by using --shallow-submodules option in the clone 
command. It seems to check out the tip of the remote repo, and if it's not 
the commit registered in the superproject the submodule update fails 
(obviously). Can I somehow tell to fetch that exact commit I need for my 
superproject?

Thanks,
   Istvan
