The fix-gitattributes-data branch had been merged and removed. Now that
we have submodules, we try and "fixup" the submodules in case that an MR
has a submodule which hasn't been merged yet. This was green and it went
forward with the build, but the top-level checkout had failed, so it
just ran with what was there before.

We should have the submodule update logic fail if the top-level git repo
failed to get what it wanted.
