GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY ignored when cloning submodules

Hi,

In the pursuit of optimizing meta-repo workflows, I wanted to use
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to specify a single objects directory used by all
repos and submodules on a workstation.

The idea being that many metarepos will contain similar sets of
submodules, and objects can be reused, thus potentially saving massive
amounts of disk space and network traffic.

However, when cloning a repo with submodules, the variable is cleared
when the submodules are cloned recursively.

Is this a bug, or intentional?

Thanks,
Robert Schmidt
