When e.g. upstream added a new submodule in the -just fetched commits of the superproject the submodule itself cannot be -fetched, making it impossible to check out that submodule later without -having to do a fetch again. This is expected to be fixed in a future Git -version. +Using --recurse-submodules can only fetch new commits in submodules that are +present locally e.g. in `$GIT_DIR/modules/`. If the upstream adds a new +submodule, that submodule cannot be fetched until it is cloned e.g. by `git +submodule update`. This is expected to be fixed in a future Git version. SEE ALSO -------- |
