Subject: Bug with Git submodules and submodule.recurse setting
Message-ID: <929572FA-6B1D-4EC7-825B-93B96053A82C@gmx.de>

If I set 



 

git config --global submodule.recurse true





and run git via:



 

git pull --progress -v --no-rebase "origin"





The command will fail with following output (Errorlevel is 1)

 



Fetching submodule submodules/tstemplates



From http://10.0.102.194:7990/scm/mcc/tstemplates



= [up to date]      feature/robin -> origin/feature/robin



= [up to date]      master        -> origin/master



Already up to date.



usage: git submodule [--quiet] add [-b <branch>] [-f|--force] [--name <name>] [--reference <repository>] [--] <repository> [<path>]



   or: git submodule [--quiet] status [--cached] [--recursive] [--] [<path>...]



   or: git submodule [--quiet] init [--] [<path>...]



   or: git submodule [--quiet] deinit [-f|--force] (--all| [--] <path>...)

   or: git submodule [--quiet] summary [--cached|--files] [--summary-limit <n>] [commit] [--] [<path>...]



   or: git submodule [--quiet] foreach [--recursive] <command>



   or: git submodule [--quiet] sync [--recursive] [--] [<path>...]



   or: git submodule [--quiet] absorbgitdirs [--] [<path>...]



 



seams that the “verbose” parameter “-v” is also sent to “git submodules” wich does not support it.



 



If I remove “-v” it will work.



 



Problem is, I use TortoiseGit, wich will automatically create this command!
