Thanks, that fixed that problem:

Now, another issue has appeared with qtlocation-mapboxgl.git:

+ git config remote.gerrit.url ssh://codereview.qt-project.org/qt/qtlocation-mapboxgl.git
+ git config remote.gerrit.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gerrit/* /heads/
+ git submodule update --force --no-fetch
fatal: Needed a single revision
Unable to find current revision in submodule path 'src/3rdparty/mapbox-gl-native'
git submodule update --force --no-fetch exited with status 256 at init-repository line 198.
	Qt::InitRepository::exe('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7ffd58802ff0)', 'git', 'submodule', 'update', '--force', '--no-fetch') called at init-repository line 429
	Qt::InitRepository::git_clone_all_submodules('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7ffd58802ff0)', 'qtlocation.git', 0, 'all') called at init-repository line 435
	Qt::InitRepository::git_clone_all_submodules('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7ffd58802ff0)', 'qt5', 0, 'preview', 'essential', 'addon', 'deprecated', '-qtwebkit', '-qtwebkit-examples', ...) called at init-repository line 644
	Qt::InitRepository::run('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7ffd58802ff0)') called at init-repository line 655

Is there a fix for this? Is this documented anywhere?

Thanks very much for your assistance.
