I tried to take a look at the existing code[2][3] in 'git-submodule.sh', I could only see that if '--init' is passed to update, it calls the 'cmd_update' shell function which in turn does invoke 'git submodule--helper init'. OTOH, if '--recursive' is passed 'cmd_update' itself is called recursively called after setting the 'prefix' and 'wt_prefix' shell variables. So, I'm not sure how you mean to say that a sub-process was not spawned when '--init' is passed. Could you clarify this a little? >> [1]: https://public-inbox.org/git/20180205235508.216277-1-sbeller@google.com/ >> [2]: https://github.com/git/git/blob/abb21c7263616f01c5e950861a29279ab21cb02f/git-submodule.sh#L530-L533 [3]: https://github.com/git/git/blob/abb21c7263616f01c5e950861a29279ab21cb02f/git-submodule.sh#L651-L673 -- Sivaraam
