使用–recursive 进行克隆

git clone --recursive https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn.git

下载下来后caffe-fast-rcnn文件夹为空，报错如下

Cloning into xxx...

fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly

解决方法：
保留已下载部分，进入到所下载项目文件夹，执行git submodule update --init --recursive

cd py-faster-rcnn
git submodule update --init --recursive

结果显示如下，

Cloning into xxx...
Submodule path 'caffe-fast-rcnn': checked out '0dcd397b29507b8314e252e850518c5695efbb83'

再次检查caffe-fast-rcnn文件夹，出现内容。

下为 https://www.jianshu.com/p/f8a55b972972/ 中所述：
克隆一个包含子仓库的仓库目录，并不会clone下子仓库的文件，只是会克隆下.gitmodule描述文件，需要进一步克隆子仓库文件。

// 初始化本地配置文件
$ git submodule init

// 检出父仓库列出的commit
$ git submodule update

或者使用组合指令

$ git submodule update --init --recursive
