Subject: submodule: --recurse-submodules vs. submodule.recurse=true
Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2017 07:39:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <eba8e727-25ef-b34b-cd2b-e92602709c9b@homann.se> (raw)

I'm using git 2.14.1 on cygwin.

Using --recurse-submodules, I can do 'git pull' and the submodules both get fetched and merged
automatically. I was under the impression that setting submodule.recurse to true would have the same
affect, without needing to write --recurse-submodules every time. But the docs seems a bit vague,
and I don't understand the git code.

Is there a way to config git pull to automatcially do a "--recurse-submodules" ?

Thanks,
Magnus
