Re: [PATCH] clone: use submodules.recurse option for automatically clone submodules

>
> Simplify cloning repositories with submodules when the option
> submodules.recurse is set by the user. This makes it transparent to the
> user if submodules are used. The user doesn’t have to know if he has to add
> an extra parameter to get the full project including the used submodules.

> set.

> command, the submodule.recurse state is saved as an array of strings as it
> can take an optionally pathspec argument which describes which submodules

> The regression test is simplified compared to the test for "git clone
> --recursive" as the general functionality is already checked there.
