I am a big fan of Git submodules as they ensure the integrity of all 3rd party components in my projects.

However, these days I am dealing with a cross platform project with huge submodules. Some of them are only used by one platform. Is there a way to explicitly ignore certain submodules on checkout to optimize checkout time?

There's an opposite question. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3796927/how-to-git-clone-including-submodules – Nick Volynkin Jun 09 '15 at 16:34
