Subject: git --recurse-submodule does not recurse to sub-submodules (etc.)
Message-ID: <CACgLhq_kMv2cj4RHr8Yx5tnYup5enCJVMrZf9Yt9Y5-bkfozLg@mail.gmail.com>

I have a directory with nested submodules, such as:

supermodule/submodule/sub-submodule/sub-sub-submodule

When I cd to supermodule and do:

"git push --recurse-submodule=check" (or on-demand),

git only pushes the submodule, but not the sub-submodule etc.

Maybe this is expected behavior and not a bug, but I thought it was
pretty unintuitive. I expected that git would push, well, recursively.

Best
