This adds support for cloning a Git repo and also cloning any submodules in the Git repo.

Thanks for your contribution! Please have a look at https://github.com/siemens/kas/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md, specifically regarding DCO and submission (also) to the mailing list.

Furthermore, you should augment your patch description with a reason for why we need it. In that context, please read https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/kas-devel/EB4794275C0C904BBABD6840AB8DC22D22A23A13%40DENBGAT9EL2MSX.ww902.siemens.net again and try to take that discussion into account.

Ok @jan-kiszka, thanks for the info! After reading through the discussion and re-examining the approach I was taking, using GIT submodules in a custom Yocto based distro with KAS may not be the best approach. It is probably better to just have KAS directly clone down the repos that were previously kept in submodules. Thanks!
