The existing "--clone" option specifies whether or not missing code
should be cloned from the git repository. There'd be no point in
trying something like:

$> util/modular/build.sh --cmd "git clone"

Because by not providing the "--clone" option you're not allowing
repositories to be cloned. So the above command says: "for each
repository please run the 'git clone' command, but if the source code
doesn't exist on my computer, you're not allowed to perform a clone to
get it, fail out instead"
