I'm not sure how this approach would be modified to account for submodules. Speaking of --recurse-submodules, you can also pass this same cli option into git clone, however, the option is ignored if you are using --mirror. (see docs: git-scm.com/docs/git-clone#Documentation/…) Maybe this approach could use some sort of git submodule foreach 'do clone --mirror' --recursive script to do a recursive mirror clone? git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule#Documentation/…

Why not instead of reset do git checkout --recurse-submodules? Isn't it more "full" backup than just reset a single repo?

If the intention is to create a full copy of the repository with all branches locally, this should be considered the correct answer. A git reset ---hard is nothing more than discarding any changes since last commit, then setting HEAD to that commit. Not really scary at all. Ref: git-scm.com/docs/git-reset

git reset --hard looks scary. What is all this supposed to do? An explanation would be in order. E.g., what is the idea/gist? Please respond by editing your answer, not here in comments (without "Edit:", "Update:", or similar - the answer should appear as if it was written today).
