Cannot clone MT32Emu/munt due to updated GitHub security

[shinra-electric]

When updating the submodules, cloning munt will fail:

Submodule 'munt' (git://github.com/munt/munt.git) registered for path 'Vendor/MT32Emu/munt'
Cloning into '/Users/xianmo/Downloads/Boxer/Vendor/MT32Emu/munt'...
fatal: remote error:
The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported.
Please see https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/ for more information.
fatal: clone of 'git://github.com/munt/munt.git' into submodule path '/Users/xianmo/Downloads/Boxer/Vendor/MT32Emu/munt' failed

The reason for the failure is updated security on GitHub which is described here.

I searched a bit for fixes, and I found this example from another project where they change the git path to github.

So if git://github.com/munt/munt.git is changed to github:munt/munt.git it might fix the issue.

This is odd, because the .gitmodules file has the url as https://github.com/MaddTheSane/Boxer-MT32Emu.git which should be fine...

[shinra-electric]

Ah, if you go to here you can see the old path.

Edit: Although after manually editing and retrying, it still fails with the same error. The old git address must be somewhere else too.

Go to Boxer/.git/modules/Vendor/Boxer-MT32Emu, and in the config file change:

[submodule "munt"]
	active = true
	url = git://github.com/munt/munt.git

to:

[submodule "munt"]
	active = true
	url = https://github.com/munt/munt.git

This should do the trick.

Yes, that worked. Though I should mention that the modules folder is only created after trying to update the submodules once.

This should be fixed by commit 5f209fd.
