[PATCH 15/15] clone: allow specification of submodules to be cloned

From

Message-ID
<1461703833-10350-16-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<1461703833-10350-1-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com>
This is in line with clone being the contraction of
    mkdir <path> && cd <path>
    git init
    git config
    git fetch
    git submodule update
