Hints
The code is organized across several git repositories. The main one refers to the others as submodules - but always to a concise commit. If you need to update submodules you also need to tell update the reference in the main repository. Here you can see that handling submodules can lead to strange effects: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21470
To learn mode about submodules read the fine manual at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules
