```
I have a few nested submodules, all use relative URLs such as:

../mysubmodule.git
../../tools/tool1.git

If I change my parent repo URL, I need to recursively update all
remotes in each submodule. There is no `--recursive` option for `git
submodule init`. What is the recommend method for accomplishing this?

Thanks in advance.

```

Never mind please, I'm a moron. I'm supposed to use sync for this task.

Been a long day and haven't had enough beer yet.
