build.log

So yesterday I was working on a local ebuild for a program I needed. However, I quickly noticed that something happened while git was fetching the project. I'll quickly quote the build.log:

> * Checking out https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt.git to /var/tmp/portage/games-emulation/citra-9999/work/citra-9999/externals/dynarmic/externals/fmt ...
>git checkout --quiet 97ea04e828d33c512eb0956ae014540a266107b9
>fatal: Cannot switch branch to a non-commit '97ea04e828d33c512eb0956ae014540a266107b9'

That is a submodule of the project I'm merging. However, the commit it tries to download doesn't exists(which explains why it fails)!

I know this isn't an upstream issue since manually git cloning works.

I'll provide any other information needed.

I think it's getting confused by fmt being used twice.  I'll try to debug it.
