Is there any intention among the Git developers to ever make --recursive a default option for git clone? (This is an option that causes git clone to recursively clone any submodules as well as the top-level repo.) Sure, arguably there are fundamental issues with submodules that you won't ever solve, and some people might prefer subtree to become the default. (I won't get into that argument here as there is another thread addressing that topic.) But the fact still stands that a lot of the ugliness of submodules comes from the fact that the UI forces users to learn a whole extra set of commands, while the regular commands are largely oblivious to the existence of submodule. If I make a Git repo with submodules, I can't just pass a link to my Git-novice friends and have them clone it, because the UI for submodules is separate from the main Git UI. Arguably, for users who don't need to actually touch the submodule, the fact that the submodule is there should be invisible from the perspective of the UI. Although Git has been gradually getting closer to this being true, it is not currently the case (clone being an example of one command which is not aware of submodules by default).
