In the git.py module I wrote for testing I deal with submodules for fetching mostly correctly.. But even it doesn't work for fetching Boost as the content itself confuses it into throwing exceptions. So now I'm faced with writing a wrapper around the git cli for testing.. And feeling like I don't have any idea what the proper way to fetch the correct stuff from github is. But I'll post about that in another thread.

Wrapping the cli is probably the best strategy, other implementations never quite seem to match it. FWIW here's the script I quickly wrote to mirror the repos for the documentation build: https://github.com/danieljames/boost-build-docs/blob/master/git-mirror.py
