Note on using very old git versions with pre-0.43.03 DFHack versions
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are using git 1.8.0 or older, and cloned DFHack before commit 85a920d
(around DFHack v0.43.03-alpha1), you may run into fatal git errors when updating
submodules after switching branches. This is due to those versions of git being
unable to handle our change from "scripts/3rdparty/name" submodules to a single
"scripts" submodule. This may be fixable by renaming .git/modules/scripts to
something else and re-running ``git submodule update --init`` on the branch with
the single scripts submodule (and running it again when switching back to the
one with multiple submodules, if necessary), but it is usually much simpler to
upgrade your git version.
