From ccdd3da6527ca7d8d731e691b9ff0f9b8657298e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Lehmann Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 21:27:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] clone: Add the --recurse-submodules option as alias for --recursive Since 1.6.5 "git clone" honors the --recursive option to recursively check out submodules too. As this option can easily be misinterpreted when it is added to other commands like "git grep", add the new --recurse-submodules option as an alias for --recursive so the same option can be used for all commands recursing into submodules.
