Clone git submodules
Cloning a git repo only to find that the code won't build because of dependencies in un-cloned submodules is pretty annoying. To solve this clone the repo like so:
git clone --recursive git://github.com/foo/bar.git
This will also clone all the submodules associated with the parent repo.
Or if the git repo is already cloned:
git submodule init
git submodule update
