'Bitbucket submodule update periodically fails but clone doesn't
After cloning a repo in Bitbucket that has submodules, once in a few weeks, following happens for several minutes to several hours:
One of the repositories that is a submodule fails to clone with git submodule update --init --jobs 16 --force. When that happens, it's only one out of all the submodules and it's that same repository until the problem goes away. Next time it will be a different one. When that happens, repository clones work fine with git clone - just the submodule way of cloning that fails.
Number of jobs doesn't matter. --jobs=1 works in the same way.
Git version doesn't matter (tried several different ones).
Bitbucket access log isn't helpful. Entries are same pretty much for both success and failure in atlassian-bitbucket-access.log.
The URL in .gitmodules is correct and no proxy server is being used.
Bitbucket version is 5.16.5
The git error: fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
The log entry in Bitbucket access log:

While trying out the https cloning, following error comes up:
fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref <a git hash here that points to a commit abject>
