**Related issue**: #932 and #880
**Type of change**: other enhancement
**Impact**: other (change a repo initialization script)
**Release Notes**
change a repo initialization script [init-submodules-no-riscv-tools-nolog.sh](https://github.com/zslwyuan/chipyard/blob/master/scripts/init-submodules-no-riscv-tools-nolog.sh) so it can generate the .sbtopt file in the Chipyard directory during repo initialization and use the absolute path for the SBT workspace variables in .sbtopts.
Hope it can adapt to more compilation scenarios. For example, now users should be able to open the shipyard project directly using Intellij.
* Fixes#453
- Update scripts/init-submodules-no-riscv-tools.sh to also work if you're in scripts/
- Provide a git version check to ensure the init scripts will work (>= 1.7.8)
- Update the documentation to be more explicit that the init script is also for updating.
* Update scripts/init-submodules-no-riscv-tools-nolog.sh
