Today I played around a bit with git submodules and noticed that the very handy configuration "submodule.recurse" is not working for the git-clone command. "git help config" tells me that submodule.recurse affects all commands that have a --recurse-submodules option. git-clone seems to be an exception which is also mentioned in a workflow example in Documentation/gitsubmodules.txt that says: # Unlike the other commands below clone still needs # its own recurse flag: git clone --recurse <URL> <directory> cd <directory> So this seems to be a known issue. Is someone already working on this or has a plan to do it? Or is there a reason not doing this for git-clone but for git-pull?
