but the repo can pass the fsck

Then I searched the info on the internet, refer to Encountering gitmodulesUrl: disallowed submodule url error when running repository check

I tried to add a .git-fsck-skiplist file, write in 5bea0fbd6b56c8c63223a056f7c7e84215f555f9, but it still failed.

$ cat <<EOF >.git-fsck-skiplist
> # invalid submodule path
> 5bea0fbd6b56c8c63223a056f7c7e84215f555f9
> EOF
$ git config fsck.skipList .git-fsck-skiplist

And then change the gitaly config, add:

gitaly['configuration'] = {
  git: {
    config: [
      { key: "fetch.fsck.gitmodulesUrl", value: "ignore" },
      { key: "fsck.gitmodulesUrl", value: "ignore" },
    ],
  },
}

reconfigure and restart, failed too.

What is the current bug behavior?

What is the expected correct behavior?
