FYI if you have an existing Bro git repo clone and want to update/pull  
the master branch and all submodules recursively, it will require  
syncing one time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;git submodule sync --recursive

That will update the URL for a git submodule that just changed.  
Afterwards, the usual update command will work:

&nbsp;&nbsp;git submodule update --recursive --init

New git clones Just Work.
