The purpose of 'init' is to inform git-submodule about which
submodules you want to checkout. E.g. for a project with submodules in
directories 'a', 'b' and 'c', you could do
$ git submodule init b c
$ git submodule update
This would only fetch/checkout the submodules in direcotories 'b' and
'c', while 'git submodule status' would still inform you that there is
actually three submodules available.
Note: If you wanted to initialize all three submodules at once, you
could simply do
$ git submodule init
