When cloning or pulling a repository containing submodules the submodules
will not be checked out by default; You can instruct 'clone' to recurse
into submodules. The 'init' and 'update' subcommands of 'git submodule'
will not be checked out by default; you can instruct `clone` to recurse
into submodules. The `init` and `update` subcommands of `git submodule`
will maintain submodules checked out and at an appropriate revision in

'checkout' recursing into submodules (note that 'submodule.recurse' also
affects other git commands, see linkgit:git-config[1] for a complete list).
