With the main git repo often down I decided to try to clone the mirror
instead.
I used:
GIT_ASKPASS=echo git clone --recursive \
https://anonymous@mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde
However while it identifies all the submodules from the mirror it tries
to fetch the submodules from the main repo and fails (see below).
Can anyone tell me the correct magic incantation?
Thanks,
--Mike

Hi Michele,
Thanks for the pointer.
Unfortunately it still requires the main repo in order to pull in the
scripts to get started (see below).
I have to take be offline for an hour or two but I will try later to
clone the scripts directly from the mirror and then use them as
described in readme.md.

Thanks for the pointers. This seems to work for cloning the mirror
repo when the main repo is unavailable for retrieving scripts:
git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde
git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/scripts
cd tde
../scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean anonymous
rm -rf ../scripts

Here is one simplification:
git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde
git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/scripts tde/scripts
cd tde
../scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean anonymous
...because scripts can be cloned directly to the desired location in the
main 'tde' module, so we can remove git submodule init and update from
the original instructions.
I think that this way we can edit it in Readme.md.
What is your opinion?

...of course it was supposed to be "./scripts/...", as in the original

git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde
git clone https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/scripts tde/scripts

The reason I didn't try that is because I don't know whether git can
convert a .git directory in scripts to a .git regular file when
scripts becomes a submodule.
I've got a test running but it will take a few hours.

git submodule init + git submodule update. And this is no problem at all,
everything works fine. After all, in this way the submodules were placed

If anyone wants convert the scripts submodule afterwards to match the
others they can "git submodule absorbgitdirs".

Nice - I didn't know this command. As I see in the documentation, this
command is new from GIT 2.12 (my GIT is 2.11). At the same time I see
information that git directories was part of submodules before git 2.7.8.
There seems to be no objection to modifying the instructions in Readme.md
for cloning scripts into tde/scripts, as I mentioned in an earlier mail.
