#8070 did not work properly with older versions of git that could not do partial clones (before git 2.36). I tested this with git 2.30.1 on several ports, starting with no submodules each time. I was able to simplify the older shallow-depth commands a bit.
Thanks @jposada202020 who found the initial problem.
If you has an older version of git (before 2.36) and are interested in testing, you could try this. The simplest way is probably just replacing
tools/fetch-submodules.sh
frommain
with the new version here.
