Description

Description:

Netbeans git clone submodules recursively is not supported in 12.0 LTS. I checked also with latest 12.4 same issue.

Only first child submodules are found.

Exemple: this public git repo https://github.com/ivanarh/jndcrash contains 6 submodules:

git submodule status --recursive
 bc1bd3491f5f58c3619e9fd0cf2884b15cef15f6 libndcrash (bc1bd34)
 00654e8fcc51eb29f7e83fc0040f46ce268dc5d9 libndcrash/external/libcorkscrew-ndk (libcorkscrew_origin-8-g00654e8)
 7baf9126235ee190d34ab24385dc1ea7d80dfa00 libndcrash/external/libunwind-ndk (libunwind_origin-9-g7baf912)
 39a0299cfdac41a2631cfdb4bbb637ffa66170fd libndcrash/external/libunwind-ndk/lzma (android-o-iot-preview-5)
 0717e9c849655f661ad303d8bff61ceb796505bd libndcrash/external/libunwindstack-ndk (libunwindstack_origin-129-g0717e9c)
 39a0299cfdac41a2631cfdb4bbb637ffa66170fd libndcrash/external/libunwindstack-ndk/lzma (android-o-iot-preview-5)

But NB only found the first:

Please enhance the Netbeans git integration to support recursive submodule clone as other IDEs (IntelliJ, VSCode, Android Studio etc...)
