Hi Sl�vek,

My clone of the mirror completed but it must have started prior to your 
changes to 'switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean'. So this script is 
out of date. If I replace it with your modified version and run it as 
per the wiki, i.e ....

git submodule init -- scripts
git submodule update -- scripts
./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean anonymous

.... git errors when it gets to the 'scripts' dir complaining about 
overwriting my local changes. I've been unable to sort this out as 'git' 
commands typed at the command line are targeting the main repo and not 
your mirror (I guess). Is there a way to sort this without re-cloning 
the whole mirror?

Regards,
Mike.
