Unable to specify git dependency to this repository

[david-perez]

In a project's Cargo.toml, if I try to specify a git dependency on this repository:

[dependencies]
lambda_http = { git = "https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime" }
lambda_runtime = { git = "https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime" }
...

And try to build the project, I get:

    Updating git repository `https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime`
error: failed to get `lambda_http` as a dependency of package `lambda v0.1.0 (/home/ANT.AMAZON.COM/davidpz/code/lambda-hugobast/rust)`

Caused by:
  failed to load source for dependency `lambda_http`

Caused by:
  Unable to update https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lambda-rust-runtime

Caused by:
  failed to update submodule `examples/extension-logs-kinesis-firehose`

Caused by:
  no URL configured for submodule 'examples/extension-logs-kinesis-firehose'; class=Submodule (17)

I think there's something wrong with how the repo is set up.

GitHub's UI seems to indicate that the directory examples/extension-logs-kinesis-firehose is a Git submodule or a symlink:

Yet when I clone the repo locally, even with --recurse-submodules, it's just a regular empty directory. I also didn't find any submodules nor strange things under .git.

That's very weird for several reasons:

1. I can see content in that directory in my clone.
2. Git doesn't add empty directories to the tree.
3. I can see the empty directory if I clone the repository in a different directory.

I'm going to remove that directory, and I'll add the example back later.

@david-perez I've added you to the list of maintainers, so feel free to merge #493 if that looks good to you.
