title: Git: Clone repository that contains itself (adds itself as submodule)
body: <p>I am trying to clone this repository:
  <a href="https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL</a>
  But almost all of the submodules are adding this repository as a submodule! (see: <a href="https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL/tree/master/test/packages" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL/tree/master/test/packages</a>)</p>
  <p>This creates an infinite recursion, and it keeps cloning forever.</p>
  <p>Is there a solution for this?!</p>
