+# This script performs a checkout with same arguments as `git checkout`
+# but makes sure that submodules are initialized in exactly the way
+# described in the branch/tag.
+# This is useful to avoid having to cleanup the tree after checkout
+# to prevent files interfering with Eclispe and updating submodules
+# manually.
+#
+# NOTE: This does not prevent other untracked files from intefering
+# with Eclipse.
+#
+# WARNING: THIS WILL DISCARD ALL LOCAL MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR SUBMODULES.
+# MAKE SURE TO COMMIT/PUSH OR SAVE THEM BEFORE YOU EXECUTE THIS SCRIPT.
