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@.../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,
