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 submodule path 'MaintenanceShell'
Seems like the submodule's gotten broken somehow? https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/51887 attempts to fix it manually...
Well it does exist:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FMaintenance...
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.
