Thanks for providing this test.

cd trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/multisuper_clone
cat .git/config
[submodule "sub0"]
  update = none
  active = true
  url = file:///.../t/trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/sub1


submodule.<name>.update
    The default update procedure for a submodule.
    This variable is populated by git submodule init
    from the gitmodules(5) file. See description of
    update command in git-submodule(1).

The first sentence of .update is misleading IMHO as the
these settings should strictly apply to the "submodule update"
command. So "pull --recurse-submodules" ought to ignore it,
instead the pull can do whatever it wants, namely treat the
submodule roughly like a tree and either merge/rebase
inside the submodule as well. The user *asked* for recursive
pull after all.

Are you saying this might be a design mistake and
the .update ought to be respected by all the other
commands? For example
    git reset --recurse-submodules
should ignore the .update= none?

When designing these new recursive submodule functionality
outside the "submodule" command, I'd want submodules
to behave as much as possible like trees.

ideas?

Thanks,
Stefan
