Hello,
I changed the deployment instructions on
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/How_to_deploy_code, adding the "--recursive"
flag to every invocation of "git submodule update". The GuidedTour extension
(not currently deployed, but will be on Thursday) has a JavaScript dependency that is kept
in a separate gerrit repository to facilitate submitting contributions and fix-ups
upstream. I'd like to change another extension (EventLogging) to do the same. It seems
like it'd be less error-prone to switch to updating submodules recursively by
default.
If this is a Bad Idea for some reason that I have overlooked, please speak up.
