Description
current
When clean: true, during Cleaning the repository, it will do:
git clean -ffdx
git reset --hard HEAD
want
When submodules: true or submodules: recursive, I want it also do:
git submodule foreach [--recursive] git clean -ffdx
git submodule foreach [--recursive] git reset --hard
why
I have a submodule in C++, I want to recompile it without cache everytime.
I was manually run git reset before make. But after I set submodule.xxx.update = rebase, it may (or may not) fail during Fetching submodules step.
The clean step must happend before submodule update in my case.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction
Start by locating the checkout action's clean step and submodule-update handling, then inspect tests covering clean and submodules options. Verify that recursive and non-recursive submodules are cleaned and reset before fetching or updating, while behavior remains unchanged when either option is disabled.
