[Development] How to use `init-repository` properly to clean up the working tree after checking out?

Hello, Thiago.

I didn't say that it had to be *6.2.4*. In fact, I've also tried to build
other Qt6 releases, such as: *6.1, 6.3, 6.5*... etc.
However, I found during the process that when I initialize submodules in
the *dev* branch and then checkout to the *6.2.4* branch, the issue arises:

*The two redundant submodules, qtlocation and qtspeech, remain, *
*which causes problems when using configure.bat and building targets.*

Therefore, I want to figure out why it happened and how to solve it.

You're having a Git problem that happens with Qt repositories but is not

Furthermore, what I don't quite understand is, if you're not interested in
the issue I raised,
then you could simply ignore it, right? Why bother specifically telling me:
"I'm not interested in your issue"? 🤔
