The update under discussion is labeled as "support submodules";
presumably the only reason that such an update is good is because it
will fix existing problems that makes the use of the script break
when submodules are involved --- submodules are not supported with
the current code, and this patch fixes the code to support it.

But then, you are saying that the update does not fix these existing
issues around submodule support.  So...?
