We could avoid hardcoding the names of the submodules by using
something along the lines of
$ ./scripts/git-submodule.sh update $(git submodule | awk '{print
$2}' | grep -Ev '^(meson|roms/.*|tests/.*)$')
A bit of a mouthful, but should be solid enough.

Using
--with-git-submodules=validate
would work too, since we'd have updated the submodules beforehand.
I think I would prefer this approach to changing the git
configuration for the root user.
