Git submodule: manually change sha1

Simple thing, I have a project with a submodule. At some point a change in the submodule was not pushed, but the superproject was pushed.

Now, the superproject's sha-1 ref to the submodule points to an unexisting commit on the server side, so git cannot update the submodule (error: no such remote ref 8ba0033813718939726d7e9429bf3eabcc52034d)

I simply want to set the sha-1 to some other value -- but since the update fails, I cannot use git checkout ... in the submodule (which is the accepted solution for every question that looks like that on SO).

I tried to explore .git/modules/... but I cannot find where it is stored.

If you want more info about the project's structure, you can find the project here and the submodule here.

Even though git checkout master doesn't work in the submodule, I managed to get git checkout [commit hash] to work -- and it solves the problem.
