            I'm confused as to how this option is supposed to be work: when calling `git submodule update --init` (with or without --recursive), it is going to init multiple submodules at the same time.

            There's no sane value for the reference repository there unless you handcraft a repository with branches (which will then consist of a set of mutually-exclusive branches) from all needed repositories.

            Am I missing something?

            David Wagner you understood correctly.

            A git repository (including a bare repository) may combine the content of multiple other repositories.  In this use case, the user was willing to create a "mega-cache" repository which is the combined cache of all their submodule repositories.

            Steps like the following would be used to create that "mega-cache" (in this example, the mega-cache will combine the git client plugin, the git plugin, and the credentials plugin into a single cache):

            $ git clone --bare https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-client-plugin mega-cache.git
$ cd mega-cache.git
$ git remote add git-plugin https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-plugin
$ git remote add credentials-plugin https://github.com/jenkinsci/credentials-plugin
$ git fetch --all --prune

            Ok, that's what I figured indeed but it seemed weird to me. Thanks for the background explanation, Mark Waite.
