Hi, I have a clean build machine and I want to clone my source code to this machine while transferring only the minimal necessary amount of data. Therefore I use this command:
git clone --recursive --depth 1 --single-branch <url> Apparently this does not clone the submodules with "--depth 1" (using Git 2.4.9). As a workaround I tried: git clone --depth 1 --single-branch <url> cd <repo-name> git submodule update --init --recursive --depth 1 However, this does not work either as I get: fatal: reference is not a tree: <correct sha1 of the submodule referenced by the main project> Unable to checkout <correct sha1 of the submodule referenced by the main project> in submodule path <submodule path> How would you clone the repo? Is the behavior above expected? If not, should the "--depth 1" flag be applied recursively to all submodules on a clone --recursive? Has a patch implementing this a chance to get in?
