If you cloned without recurse-submodules and lack submodules, wouldn't it be a no-op to have submodule.recurse set to true, so it would not hurt anyway? IOW, that may already solve the original problem you wanted to solve---those who want their submodules recursively descended into by default can just set submodule.recurse to true (in ~/.gitconfig presumably) and after "git clone" with --recurse-submodules they will get what they want, no? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks.
