Previously, performing "git clone --recurse-submodules --single-branch"
resulted in submodules cloning all branches even though the superproject
cloned only one branch. Pipe --single-branch through the submodule
helper framework to make it to 'clone' later on.

Removed references to --branch since v1.
As discussed in the thread for v1 of this patch, in cases when the
submodule commit referenced by the specified superproject branch isn't
the same as the HEAD of the submodule repo known by the server side,
this still works in kind of a non-obvious way. In these cases, first we
fetch the single branch that is the ancestor of the server's HEAD; then
we fetch the commit needed by the superproject (and its ancestry). So
while this change prevents us from fetching *all* branches on clone, it
doesn't necessarily limit us to a single branch as described.
To limit submodules to a single branch on clone, we need to know which
branch we want for each submodule; unfortunately it seems that just
propagating --branch doesn't necessarily help as there's not much
guarantee that the superproject branch name matches the submodule branch
name, or that all submodule branch names are the same. So, we need to
give a little more thought there.
