It looks like there was a force push to 'master' in ci-scripts
some time on or after the 24th.  ("origin/master" in my checkout
was still pointing to the g8a2666a rev.)

So as not to have a dangling submodule reference in the Base history
I have created a tag "v3.3.0-10-g8a2666a" to keep that rev. reachable.
