Apologies if this has already been discussed, but did any of the
proposed patches to allow .gitmodules to be configured for a submodule
to be automatically recursive cloned and/or automatically updated on
pull make it in yet?
My use-case for submodules - which is shared libraries - almost always
requires a recursive clone, so having to remember the --recursive
param (or to use an alias) is annoying (and I usually forget), and it
usually requires pulling the latest master on a "git pull", too. I
think both of these things should be able to be automated through git
module configuration.
