[PATCH 0/2] Dealing with a lot of submodules

We have a test repo with about 500 submodules, and I noticed some problems when cloning this repo. This is a series that helps dealing with that repo in two ways:

* When having 500 submodules, you have to perform 500 clones. This makes an
  ephemeral error 500 times more likely. To cope with such errors, just try
  again after all other clones have finished.

* If a recursive clone fails for another reason (in our case a missing
  .gitmodules file), we want to keep going to finish the clone, instead of
  failing.
  
Thanks,
Stefan
