I am using [https://github.com/elasticsearch/puppet-logstash](https://github.com/elasticsearch/puppet-logstash) as a git submodule in a project that does not use a Puppet server and would like to update the submodule with [https://github.com/elastic/puppet-logstash/pull/205/](https://github.com/elastic/puppet-logstash/pull/205/) to allow referencing files. Can you recommend a safe way to include the PR into the pre-existing submodule.

Thanks,
