Hi Fetching the gnulib submodule takes quite some time, so I'd like to use a shallow checkout instead. However I get an error:
jas@latte:~/src/gsasl-small$ make check
GEN public-submodule-commit
fatal: run_command returned non-zero status for gnulib
.
maint.mk: found non-public submodule commit
make: *** [maint.mk:1498: public-submodule-commit] Fel 1
jas@latte:~/src/gsasl-small$
See code snippet from maint.mk below. The test fails but the situation
the documentation says it is intended to protect against is not
occuring.
How about this patch? It will only run the test if the first gnulib
commit is present. I'm not sure it is possible to catch the problem the
situation is trying to detect in a shallow checkout?

# This rule has a high enough utility/cost ratio that it should be a

# commit a temporary change that deliberately points to a non-public

# In that case, run e.g., "make check gl_public_submodule_commit="
