Junio, can you please just take patch 1-3 in this series, i.e.: DROP: > Brandon Williams (1): > clone: add a --no-tags-submodules to pass --no-tags to submodules > [...] > WIP clone: add a --[no-]recommend-tags & submodule.NAME.tags config KEEP: > Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (4): > tests: change "cd ... && git fetch" to "cd &&\n\tgit fetch" > clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags > tests: rename a test having to do with shallow submodules I think a fair summary of the discussion so far is that the submodule interaction I copy/pasted from --shallow-submodules isn't how we want to do things at all, I defer to Stefan & Brandon on that. The only other objection to the patches marked as KEEP is from Stefan saying it should be --tags on by default not --no-tags off by default. As noted in <CACBZZX5dxaJDN18J5fAhjKcaP8cZSTtRw5-eScr2oq8OYyhKuQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I don't disagree, but a lot of flags in git now use that pattern, and this change is consistent with those. Makes sense to discuss changing that as another series.
