 The `time` submodule is present in my repository (at `./libraries/time`)
 but some `./sync-all` operations, like `./sync-all fetch`, don't seem to
 detect its presence:

 Output from `./sync-all get`:
 {{{
 ...
 Submodule 'libraries/time' () registered for path 'libraries/time'
 ...
 == Checking for old time from tarball
 }}}

 Output from a subsequent `./sync-all fetch`:
 {{{
 ...
 == libraries/time repo not present; skipping
 ...
 }}}

 `./sync-all fetch` thinks that the `time` repo is not present and thus
 doesn't pull in any updates for it.

 This issue is similar to the one which
