Hi All,
I have hit an edge condition that I think may need a command option. When cloning, we sometimes ignore a specific submodule (because we don't need it on the platform we are building in this case).
The git submodule foreach command reports an error: fatal: No url found for submodule path 'sub1' in .gitmodules
In our situation, this can be bypassed because we don't care about sub1. My thought is that some option like --init-only or --ignore-uninit might be useful to bypass this condition and allow the foreach to run on all valid submodules. Does that make sense?
