submodule logic in CMakeLists.txt always fails for release tarballs #3878

Bug Description

When using a release tarball, the git submodule logic always fails (regardless of what the option GIT_SUBMODULE is set to) since there is no .git directory.
lines 219-237: in CMakeLists.txt

The error message one gets is a bit misleading, saying that GIT_SUBMODULE was not set, even though it was.

Environment
