Subject: git-clone ignores submodule.recurse configuration
Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2017 19:48:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAN0XMOJnQX-gSnpHaiJUYr4X4-WT91oT3Xv3gDtKYjX7J3ObVw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

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?
