^^^ is this verified anywhere? Hint: if not, it probably should be. For
example, imagine a future where an existing repository can be migrated
in place from files -> lmdb. If somebody runs that command in a
submodule, this invariant would be broken and *this* version of git
would have to at least detect the problem and refuse to corrupt things.

I added CC to a couple submodules experts in case they have any
feedback. Are there any other code paths that can lead to submodules
being newly cloned, where this option would also have to be passed?

I sent a separate email about this hunk:

This could be shortened to

    argv_array_pushf(&cp.args, "--refs-backend-type=%s", refs_backend_type);
