Ok for me.

Perfect

That is what I planned to do at beginning.
But git-gui never call git clone anywhere.
It make the clone step by step with a long and complicated list of
commands just like a Tcl rewrite of git-clone.
Have a look on the function _do_clone2 in choose_repository.tcl.

As I suspect there should be a good reason for this that I did not
understand I have choose to not refactoring it.
And in fact looking in the code 'git clone --recursive' do nothing
else than calling 'git submodule update --init --recursive' like I
have done to complete this rewrite of 'git-clone'.
