It also misses git submodule sync to deal with changes in git
submodule URL, and reset --hard etc. We have just been dealing with a
few of these issues and currently call git directly to sync, init, and
then use submodule foreach to reset and clean all submodules before
updating.

I wonder if any of these are good candidates for adding to ctest in the future.
