I've never used git submodules before, so keep this in mind. Following 
the README instructions:

$ ls
binutils-gdb  COPYING  itcl  iwidgets  Makefile  README  testsuite
configure.ac  gdbtk    itk   libgui    patches   tcl     tk
$ git submodule foreach --recursive git pull
$ echo $?
0

[i.e., it did nothing]

What did work for me was:

$ git submodule init
Submodule 'binutils-gdb' (git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git) 
registered for path 'binutils-gdb'
Submodule 'itcl' (https://github.com/tcltk/itcl.git) registered for path 
'itcl'
Submodule 'itk' (https://github.com/tcltk/itk.git) registered for path 'itk'
Submodule 'tcl' (https://github.com/tcltk/tcl.git) registered for path 'tcl'
Submodule 'tk' (https://github.com/tcltk/tk.git) registered for path 'tk'
$ git submodule update

I have a bunch of follow-up comments to make. I'll try to get those down 
in email in the next few days.

Thank you for your work on this. It is nice to have some help.
