 rbm has an option to include git submodules when creating source tarballs
 for a build.

 rbm is initializing and updating the submodules with `git submodule update
 --init`. However looking at the git-submodule manpage, it seems that the
 `--init` submodule option will only initialize submodules which have not
 been initialized yet. If a commit is changing a submodule URL, then this
 change will not be taken into account if the submodule has been
 initialized before.

 To fix this, rbm should also run `git submodule sync`.
