Hi, is ist possible to update older but supported Kirby versions via submodules – if yes: how?

I would like to update an 3.6.x Kirby website to 3.6.6.2

Tutorial for updating to latest version:

> **[Install & update via Git](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/install-guide/git)**
>
> Install and update Kirby via Git

“This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.”:

> **[GitHub - getkirby/kirby at 3.6.6.2](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/tree/3.6.6.2)**
>
> 3.6.6.2

Thanks for help 🙂
