PKGBUILD generator for projects with git submodules

The package maintainers among us may have noticed that it is slightly tedious (<- understatement of the year) to manage projects from git sources that have submodules.
I am referring to this and that.

I have written a small bash script to be run in a (recursive) clone of the git repository of interest. It will generate a skeleton of PKGBUILD with sources, checksums, and prepare() to manage the submodules. Nested submodules are supported as well.

The script is here: https://gist.github.com/nlgranger/9ecc0 … bmodule-sh

For example, with a project such as edk2 which has many submodules, it produces the following output:
