git - python setup.py install with setuptools and pbr fails with submodules

Question

I have a git repo that contains one submodule. I run python setup.py install in the parent folder using prb and setuptools.

setup.py:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    setup_requires=['pbr','setuptools'],
    pbr=True
)

Then in the terminal I get the following:

error: can't copy '<submodule folder>': doesn't exist or not a regular file

It is possibly because of the abandoned bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/pbr/+bug/1530867

Is there any workaround about that error message that will allow me to run python setup.py install successfully?
