            If True, we will operate recursively and update child modules as well.
        :param init:
            If True, the module repository will be cloned into place if necessary.
        :param to_latest_revision:
            If True, the submodule's sha will be ignored during checkout. Instead, the
            remote will be fetched, and the local tracking branch updated. This only
            works if we have a local tracking branch, which is the case if the remote
            repository had a master branch, or of the 'branch' option was specified for
            this submodule and the branch existed remotely.
        :param progress:
            UpdateProgress instance or None if no progress should be shown.
        :param dry_run:
            If True, the operation will only be simulated, but not performed.
            All performed operations are read-only.
        :param force:
            If True, we may reset heads even if the repository in question is dirty.
            Additionally we will be allowed to set a tracking branch which is ahead of
            its remote branch back into the past or the location of the remote branch.
            This will essentially 'forget' commits.
            If False, local tracking branches that are in the future of their respective
            remote branches will simply not be moved.
        :param keep_going:
            If True, we will ignore but log all errors, and keep going recursively.
            Unless dry_run is set as well, keep_going could cause subsequent / inherited
            errors you wouldn't see otherwise.
            In conjunction with dry_run, it can be useful to anticipate all errors when
            updating submodules.
        :param env: Optional dictionary containing the desired environment variables.
            Note: Provided variables will be used to update the execution environment
            for ``git``. If some variable is not specified in `env` and is defined in
            attr:`os.environ`, value from attr:`os.environ` will be used.
            If you want to unset some variable, consider providing the empty string as
            its value.
        :param clone_multi_options:
            List of Clone options.
            Please see :meth:`Repo.clone <git.repo.base.Repo.clone>` for details.
            They only take effect with the `init` option.
        :param allow_unsafe_protocols:
            Allow unsafe protocols to be used, like ext.
        :param allow_unsafe_options:
            Allow unsafe options to be used, like --upload-pack.
