Description

When doing checkout of a commit, the submodules have to be updated manually: git submodule update --init --recursive

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the checkout implementation in the Gittyup codebase and determine how to automatically update submodules after a checkout, likely by invoking 'git submodule update init recursive'. Look for existing tests covering checkout to understand the expected behavior.
