[JENKINS-55876] Recursive submodule URLs are not synchronized when changed on a checkout
If a submodule itself has submodules, and the URL of those submodules changes, then the second submodule's URL will not be updated.
This can cause checkout to fail, because the referenced commit may well not exist in the old submodule. This causes build failures, and either the workspace must be cleaned, or manual intervention must take place.

Hi, is there any plans for this issue? I see that those pull requests have been closed with prospects of reopening them (by markewaite), but they haven't been reopened yet. Can I help making it go forward in some way?
