Is anybody else seeing this when running 'git
submodule update' in a
checkout of the extensions repo?
fatal: reference is not a tree: beead919cac17528f335d9409dfcada12e606ebd
Unable to checkout 'beead919cac17528f335d9409dfcada12e606ebd' in

Seems like the submodule's gotten broken somehow?

Well it does exist:

But that's not in the log of the current master. Must have had a force
push bypassing review. (which makes sense if you look at the history)
Maybe not updating the parent repo is a gerrit bug.
The auto-updating submodule magic only works if you're pushing
through Gerrit. Skip Gerrit, and you don't get the benefits of the
magic submodules.
