capitalization. And yeah, fair play with your edit - I'll try to track down some information about when the change occurred
Feb 24, 2015 at 16:53 comment added drewag @MarkAmery, I remember this being a problem in some version of git that I cannot remember. I just tested it in 1.9.3 and the problem does not seem to exist anymore. I updated the answer to refer to a vague "older versions". If anyone can specify which version changed this behavior, that would be great.

Feb 24, 2015 at 14:06 comment added Mark Amery @Irineau The note about already-initialized submodules not being updated if --init is used does not match my experiences on Git 2.2.2. I see both top-level and nested submodules that have already been initialized getting the correct commit checked out when I use git submodule update --init --recursive, and I think the claim that you need to run the command with and without --init is simply wrong. Unless somebody can either show evidence that this is the behaviour or demonstrate that it's changed between versions and was once true, I plan to edit it out altogether.

Apr 16, 2012 at 13:37 comment added drewag You can just do a "git submodule add blah" and then "git submodule update --init --recursive".

Apr 16, 2012 at 4:48 comment added complez How about recursive add submodule? "git submodule add FrameworkA.git" just pull files of FrameworkA.
