Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
git rebase origin/development
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
successful rebase?
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
An error message was displayed

nmr2:MyRadar nathan$ git rebase origin/development Fast-forwarding submodule MyRadar/Tectonic-CPP Auto-merging MyRadar/Tectonic-CPP error: add_cacheinfo failed to refresh for path 'MyRadar/Tectonic-CPP'; merge aborting. hint: Could not execute the todo command hint: hint: pick 9a864cc2da187ebc5ef9720165c0656d4f35c6fd Pick up latest for demo hint: hint: It has been rescheduled; To edit the command before continuing, please hint: edit the todo list first: hint: hint: git rebase --edit-todo hint: git rebase --continue Could not apply 9a864cc2da... Pick up latest for demo

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Anything else you want to add:

I recently renamed the submodule's main branch from 'master' to 'main', feels like it could be related. The following also fails:

nmr2:MyRadar nathan$ git submodule update --remote Submodule path '../ACMEGraphics': checked out '2f07030f28a8c4f7d9e540ff455b73b7cb99d9e6' fatal: Needed a single revision Unable to find current origin/master revision in submodule path 'MyRadar/Tectonic-CPP'

(I have since fixed .gitmodules to refer to the new branch name. 'git submodule update' succeeds now, but rebase still fails with the error: add_cacheinfo failed to refresh for path 'MyRadar/Tectonic-CPP'; merge aborting. ..)
