[PATCHv2 3/6] Introduce submodule.recurse option for worktree manipulators

From
Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20170522194806.13568-4-sbeller@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<20170522194806.13568-1-sbeller@google.com>

Any command that understands '--recurse-submodules' can have its default changed to true, by setting the submodule.recurse option.

This patch includes read-tree/checkout/reset for working tree manipulating commands. Later patches will cover other commands.
