[Interest] qt.git: broken v5.6.0 .gitmodules?

[Christian Gagneraud]

Hi there,

Is it me or .gitmodules on tag v5.6.0 is broken?
.gitmodules set the branch name of all qt modules to '5.6.0', but
these branches don't exist (anymore?). The only branches available on
qt submodules are '5.6, '5.7', ... and tags like 'v5.6.0', 'v5.6.1',
...

git clone $qt5url
cd qt5
git checkout $qt5version
perl init-repository ...
...
Cloning into 'qtandroidextras'...
fatal: Remote branch 5.6.0 not found in upstream origin
git clone --branch 5.6.0 https://code.qt.io/qt/qtandroidextras.git

The same problem appears with other qt5 submodules


Any clue how to fix this problem?
