Chris PackhamHi,
Just noticed this in git 1.7.4
git clone -h
...
--recursive initialize submodules in the clone
--recurse_submodules initialize submodules in the clone git fetch -h
...
--recurse-submodules control recursive fetching of submodulesThe recurse_submodules option for git clone was added in ccdd3da6 I'm guessing it wasn't Jens' intention to use an underscore instead of a hypen. Also as it is fairly new it should be safe to correct without worrying about retaining the incorrect option for backwards compatibility.
Here's my attempt at a fix
----8<---- From 24c582c2c9bc4f66980679a20d3eb9de6a031071 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Packham <chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz> Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 11:31:06 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] clone: fixup recurse_submodules option
The recurse_submodules option was added in ccdd3da6 to bring 'git clone' into line with 'git fetch' and future commands. The correct option should have been "recurse-submodules".
