But this option only makes sense when a submodule is newly cloned so I am not sure whether submodule update is the correct place. Let me think about this a little more. Since we do not have any extra command that initiates the clone this is probably the only place we can put this option. But at the moment it does not feel completely right. Apart from that the code looks good. If the user does a checkout of a revision that was not fetched submodule update will error out the same way as if someone forgot to push his submodule changes. So that should not be a problem.
