git clone has a very helpful %complete indicator that lets me know my system has not locked up.

Unfortunately, the git submodule command has no %complete indicator. My team has a repository that takes 5-10 minutes to complete the git submodule command. They warned me to just let it run, and they were right. I would have killed and restarted it if they didn't tell me.

Please add a %complete indicator to the git submodule command.

Thanks, Gene
