specified with the remote.<name>.tagopt setting. See
linkgit:git-config[1].
---[no-]recurse-submodules::
- This option controls if new commits of all populated submodules should
- be fetched too (see linkgit:git-config[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5]).
+--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]::
+ This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of
+ populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a
+ boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to
+ unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to
+ 'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any
+ value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule
+ when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
+ reference to a commit that isn't already in the local submodule
+ clone.
+
+--no-recurse-submodules::
+ Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as
+ using the '--recurse-submodules=no' option).
--submodule-prefix=<path>::
Prepend <path> to paths printed in informative messages
