      Sometimes developers accidentally forget to push a submodule and thus make it impossible to check out their changes completely. This causes jenkins to throw an exception and on the next build it merely tries again and will inevitably fail. Maybe we should make an option for failed submodules to fail the build and move on instead of throwing an exception. I'll paste in the console output when this happened to me here.
