Ah well ;) Anyway, I think it does not make sense, as behavior starts to change for people who already cloned expecting not to recurse (Jonathan N says this is the case for his Rust checkout, for example) - and apparently 'submodule.recurse=true' has some weird edge cases for commands which are happy to run out-of-repo. Mahi mentioned wanting to rework her commit to use a config besides 'feature.experimental' for this same behavior, so hopefully we will see that change come through soon - but today is also the last day of her internship, so we may not be so lucky. - Emily
