I'm trying to add a Git submodule to my project using the git submodule add command with specific options. However, I'm encountering an error during the checkout phase that suggests the specified branch isn't being recognized correctly.

Command Executed:

GIT_TRACE=true git submodule add -b branch_1.1.0 --depth 1 https://oauth2:****@gitlab.test.ir/repo.git path

Git Trace Output:

fatal: unable to checkout submodule 'path'

Problem Description: When executing the above command, I expect Git to add the submodule using the specified branch branch_1.1.0 with a shallow clone (--depth 1). However, during the checkout phase, Git attempts to create and checkout the branch branch_1.1.0 from origin/branch_1.1.0, resulting in the following error:

fatal: 'origin/branch_1.1.0' is not a commit and a branch 'branch_1.1.0' cannot be created from it
fatal: unable to checkout submodule 'path'

Why isn't Git correctly applying the --branch flag when performing the clone operation?
