I wonder if the name is a little too general for the function of this
configuration variable and if it might not be better to qualify it a
little further, perhaps
with the recursive suffix, e.g.:
submodule.<name>.fetch.recursive
This would allow us to define other attributes that configure fetch on
a per submodule basis later should the need arise.
