I am just ramping up on git and have the following scenario / issue:

 I have a git repository on server A.

 I clone it onto my machine B.

In my local copy/repository on machine B I clone a repository on some
third party server C.

 I commit my changes into B and push them to A.

 Now if I clone my repository from Server A onto my local machine
in a different location I see all the source as normal but only the top
level directory of C. Any source under that is not present.

What is the magic git incantation to make sure that I check out
not only the code from my repository but  any repositories that
are cloned into it (recursive clone?)

 we call this functionality "submodules" and the quickstart howto is:

	You have git repository on A

	You clone it onto your machine B

	git submodule add url directoryC

	You commit your changes into B and push them to A

	You do another clone of A and then within the clone

	git submodule update --init

For further details, see git-submodule(1).
