[Bf-committers] Changes to the Blender.Git submodule configuration

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi everyone,

A quick announcement about the changes in the submodule organization of the
blender.git repository. It affects both blender-v3.5-release and main
branches.

In order to resolve the confusion about submodule hashes we are completely
removing submodules. The locales and developers tools will become part of
the main repository, and the addons will be a checkout into a git-ignored
folder.

Once the changes are committed, running `make update` will take care of
properly re-initializing the worktree configuration.

For the details please refer to the devtalk tthread
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/changes-to-the-blender-git-submodule-configuration/27831

Best regards
