Not all repositories in
update-checkout-config.json
are tagged. For contributors that would like to achieve reproducible builds, it's useful to track exact state of checkouts with submodules. This also enables bisection scripts running across multiple repositories locally.New
--use-submodules
flag is added toupdate-checkout
, which usesgit submodule add
instead ofgit clone
when checking out new repositories. Contributors can then track changes to submodules in their own top-level repository if they wish to do so.The flag is optional and is not enabled by default.
