This update fixes a security issue:
Submodules' “
URL“s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
blindly gave it to “git clone” to clone submodules when “git clone
–recurse-submodules” was used to clone a project that has such a
submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such malformed URLs
(e.g. one that begins with a dash). Credit for finding and fixing this
vulnerability goes to joernchen and Jeff King, respectively.
