git clone: Add --recursive to automatically checkout (nested) submodules
Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for developers on such projects is: git clone url/to/project cd project git submodule update --init (--recursive) This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence can be reduced to: git clone --recursive url/to/project --recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone. The patch also includes documentation and a selftest. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
