.NET 8 SDK is complaining about Source Link problems in completely unrelated Git submodules

[sandersaares]

Description

Building my solution with .NET 8 I get some warnings that I did not get before:

42>C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\8.0.100-preview.5.23303.2\Sdks\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Git\build\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Git.targets(26,5): warning : Could not find file 'C:\Source\xxx\xxx\external\googletest_1.8\.git'. The source code won't be available via Source Link.

Reproduction Steps

1. Have unrelated submodule present in repo.
2. Build solution that does not use this submodule.
3. Receive warning.

Expected behavior

No messages about submodules that are not in any way referenced by my solution.

Actual behavior

Irrelevant warnings are emitted.

Regression?

Worked fine with .NET 7 SDK. I suppose this Source Link integration is a new feature in .NET 8.

Known Workarounds

No response

Configuration

8.0.100-preview.5.23303.2

Other information

@tmat, should I route this to the dotnet/sourcelink repo or did you want to add a source link label here?

[tmat]

@marcpopMSFT Yes, please move to sourcelink repo.

[marcpopMSFT]

@tmat doesn't look like I have enough permissions to transfer. Can you grant me triage permissions in the source link repo and we can see if that's sufficient? If not that, I may need write permissions. Not sure why GH has transfer so locked down.

[tmat]

It looks like I don't have permissions to add permissions :( Someone from .NET Eng should be able to.

Any news on this?
