Hi All,

I updated the script to do git submodule init and update if not done already while recursing; fixed some issues and converted it into sh script from bash. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be email a merge of this script with git submodule by adding a recurse command in addition to the ones existing and also add a parameter --init-submodules to the git-clone command so that when cloning the git submodule init and git submodule update is done internally.

I would be grateful if you would kindly provide your feedback.

Best regards,

Imran
