From 428145838b55aeed06e01d899ffe85d0ed4731d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Ceresoli Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 12:08:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs/manual: suggest 'YES' as the value for LIBFOO_GIT_SUBMODULES The manual mentions LIBFOO_GIT_SUBMODULES but does not tell what value it should have. The implementation only checks whether the variable is non-empty, but we should suggest a specific value to avoid people wondering what they have to set, and to try setting weird values.
