Hi!

When trying to recover the =E2=80=98non-sequencer=E2=80=99 source from SWH,=
 Guix fails
with a hash mismatch:

    expected hash: 1cljkkyi9dxqpqhx8y6l2ja4zjmlya26m26kqxml8gx08vyvddhx
    actual hash:   1xrrczqx4ll276g449nqiq0ip6lpika9hs4z4xgxaa6ayw60v29f

The reason is that the checkout includes submodules, and the way that
Guix treats submodules differs from the way that SWH treats them.  Note
that this is not a recursive checkout (which is also broken, but more
clearly a =E2=80=9Cknown limitation=E2=80=9D).  In particular, Guix leaves =
the submodule
as an empty directory, while SWH turns it into a symlink pointing to the
submodule=E2=80=99s commit hash:

    $ readlink ./f20fa6babec52bbf703bad6c1c92fa845b781f7e/lib/ntk
    1e3f5106d404562902bed2983403301db24a3f78

This is clearly a rare edge case, but it should be pretty easy to fix.
Perhaps it=E2=80=99s as easy as just opening =E2=80=9C.gitmodules=E2=80=9D =
and replacing the
symlink at each submodule path with an empty directory.
