After setting up git-annex in one of my submodules, I noticed that executing `git checkout mybranch --recurse-submodules` will cause a fatal error (see error message below) and my working copy will be left in a state somewhere in between the origin and the destination branch.
As a workaround, this two-step alternative seems to work fine though: `git checkout mybranch && git submodule update`.
Everything above applies to command `git switch` as well.
I use git version 2.27.0 and git-annex version 8.20200618
Error Message: **fatal: could not open 'path/to/my/submodule/.git' for writing: Is a directory**
