Working with the submodule

This repository uses the bdk-ffi repository as a git submodule. Here are useful tips for working with the submodule:

1. When initially cloning the repo, the bdk-ffi submodule will be empty locally. You can intitiate/populate the directory by using the just submodule-init command.
2. If you make local changes to the bdk-ffi directory while developing and want to hard delete all changes and return to the exact committed version hash of the bdk-ffi repo, use the just submodule-reset command.
