This patch adds support for initializing and updating submodules when
a repo is cloned. The advantage it adds is, the user actually does not
have to know whether it has a module or not and if it does to what
depth and path. For this I added a option -w or --with-submodule for
initializing and updating during clone stage.
I am working on project that has multiple maven modules and some of
the modules have separate GIT repo and needs to be linked with the
main project after maturity; we wanted that when developers clone the
main repo it should fetch all the submodules at once.
Following is the diff with git-clone 1.5.3.7; I also attached the diff
and modified file in the attachment. I would like to add that I am not
fully sure about unsetting the GIT_DIR, GIT_CONFIG and GIT_WORK_TREE
and resetting them and thus added them to the comment. If there is a
better way to achieve it I would gratefully incorporate it.
