Hi All, I updated the script to do git submodule init and update if not done already while recursing; fixed some issues and converted it into sh script from bash. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be email a merge of this script with git submodule by adding a recurse command in addition to the ones existing and also add a parameter --init-submodules to the git-clone command so that when cloning the git submodule init and git submodule update is done internally. I would be grateful if you would kindly provide your feedback. Best regards, Imran On Jan 3, 2008 3:52 PM, Imran M Yousuf <imyousuf@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > Sorry for referring to the blog.
