You can give a try and use recursive submodules before we release 3.4.1.
Plugin is available here: https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public/com/atlassian/bamboo/plugins/atlassian-bamboo-plugin-git/1.7-m6/atlassian-bamboo-plugin-git-1.7-m6.jar

Should be copied into Bamboo 3.4 WEB-INF/lib - and previous version (1.7-m5) should be removed

I've added new story for recursive submodules - please track it here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-10467

The submodule support in 3.4 is great, but it does not support recursive submodules.
git (versions 1.7+) supports updating submodules recursively, using "git submodule update --init --recursive" or using "git clone some_url --recurse"

Please please please fix this so it will actually work for projects that heavily use submodules to organize their code in git.

Great thank you.

Hi Marcin,

Symlinks work as well in Bamboo 3.4. See BAM-8899.

Cheers,
Anton

symlinks are also supported when you use native git client, so fixed as well.

And what about symlikns support?

Submodules for Git is now available in 3.4. Please ensure you have the Git commandline client available on the agents with the corresponding capability

please unsubcrib me from those email

@Marcin,
I don't think the newer JGit do support symbolic links, see: here - AFAIK to support it natively (i.e. from JVM) it would have to switch to JDK 1.7. Not sure how that's probable.

However, you should add yourself as a watcher to the BAM-8899 - I think it might be possible to workaround java limitations using after-checkout system calls to recreate symlinks. If this solution is feasible, working and eventually the symlinks problem is resolved then you would get notice from JIRA. If you're interested in technical details how this solution could work see src (wip).
