Could this change [1] be backported to VE release branches (REL1_32,
REL1_31, etc)? Without it initializing submodules fails due to the gerrit
path change. This may affect other extensions/projects as well, but this VE
error has been reported to me by several people. Until recently it had only
happened within within specific cloud hosting environments, but now I just
got the failure within Travis CI [2] which worked fine yesterday.
