These are some improvements to the quick start section after comments by @dupontf when he followed the instructions to use CICE6.

  • mention cloning with --recurse-submodules
  • fix the link to the Git Workflow Guide.
  • improve the wording a bit

Mention that CICE must be cloned with '--recurse-submodules' for Icepack
to also be cloned, formatting the 'git clone' command as a code block,
and fix the link to the Git Workflow Guide.

It's good to be accurate and consistent -- thanks for these changes..
In the git workflow guide, I believe we recommend using --recursive instead of --recurse-submodules.

Yeah, --recursive is semi-deprecated, --recurse-submodules is more recent and more in line with the rest of the Git commands (which all use --recurse-submodules). They do the exact same thing.

Okay, then maybe we should update the git workflow doc too.
