This is because you have an unused submodule in your project https://github.com/roadiz/docs/blob/master/.gitmodules See #4371

@stsewd why it should matter if the submodule is used or not?

I mean, we should be able to clone it no matter if the build uses it for building the docs or not.

The submodule looks valid to me.

[stsewd]

The submodule isn't in the project https://github.com/roadiz/docs, is the case of phantom submodules that makes gitpython fail

Also, I have a PR for this in gitpython gitpython-developers/GitPython#818

[ambroisemaupate]

I don't understand it. This sub-module is used, it's our RTD theme which is stored in a different repository. It's mandatory for documentation compilation.

Ok, compilation works fine after removing .gitmodules file. Our RTD theme is cloned in conf.py so no need to use git submodule anyway.

This a workaround, but not the real solution. Thanks for the update!

We need to find a proper solution for this, though.
