The submodule business becomes kind of annoying. I updated the documentation at

https://daq00.triumf.ca/MidasWiki/index.php/Quickstart_Linux#MIDAS_Package_Installatio
n

to tell people to use 

1) "git clone ... --recurse-submodules" during the first clone
2) "git submodule update --init --recursive" in case they forgot 1)
3) "git pull --recurse-submodules" for each update or to use
4) "git config submodule.recurse true" to make the --recurse-submodules the default

I use 4) since a while and it works nicely, so one does not have to remember to pull 
recursively each time.
