Description
It seems that stack2nix first tries to clone the master branch for the given repo. This interacts poorly with submodules as they are initialised to the remote on `master` rather than the given revision.
If the commit you want to use contains submodules which point to a different remote then running `stack2nix` fails as it can't find the reference.
The way I "fixed" this was to push my branch to the master branch as well but obviously this is not possible in general.
