How do I do a recursive clone with git2go? When the operation is completed I want the files of the repo and the submodule to be in the working directory.

in git I do this by

git clone http://www.github.com/roonyh/blog
git checkout master
git submodule init
git submodule update

In git2go I have tried this after clonning,

    repo.Submodules.Foreach(func(sub *git.Submodule, name string) int {
        fmt.Println(name) // prints the name of the only submodule I have
        sub.Init(true)
        err := sub.Update(true, &git.SubmoduleUpdateOptions{
            &git.CheckoutOpts{
                Strategy: git.CheckoutForce | git.CheckoutUpdateSubmodules,
            },
            &git.FetchOptions{},
            git.CheckoutForce | git.CheckoutUpdateSubmodules,
        })
                fmt.Println(err) // prints an error given below
        return 0
    })

The error on the Update call reads, Object not found - no match for id (9be04b37f879b6680bfa5f1476a01ba2c1619036).

I am able to get the files via git though.

And this while cloning.

    co := &git.CloneOptions{
        CheckoutOpts: &git.CheckoutOpts{
            Strategy: git.CheckoutForce | git.CheckoutUpdateSubmodules,
        },
        CheckoutBranch: "master",
    }
    repo, err := git.Clone(url, path, co)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Print(err)
    }

But the submodule's files are not in the working directory.

Sorry if this is not the appropriate place for questions. And is there any place where information like this documented?

never mind. There was a problem with the repo of the submodule.
