I have no good (or bad) reason for that other than just wanting to add
--no-tags to submodules while I was at it, and then I was just
following the pattern the option to pass along --depth was
establishing.
But if that's some anti-pattern and the consensus is that this
submodule feature should instead work as you describe (which looks
like the case) I'll change it to work like that.
