Comment:

 As a temporary fix until legind can fix it in a new release, I forked the
 https-everywhere repository on github, and added a commit removing the
 `checkout` submodule.

 In branch `bug_26428` we are using this commit removing the `checkout`
 submodule:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_26428&id=b3cc97d4e4adb4709c1e367d82bd1e389bba60f0

 This is fixing the https-everywhere build for me.
