From: Glen Choo <chooglen@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fix a bug in "git pull" where `submodule.recurse` is preferred over
`fetch.recurseSubmodules` when performing a fetch
(Documentation/config/fetch.txt says that `fetch.recurseSubmodules`
should be preferred.). Do this by passing the value of the
"--recurse-submodules" CLI option to the underlying fetch, instead of
passing a value that combines the CLI option and config variables.
In other words, this bug occurred because builtin/pull.c is conflating
two similar-sounding, but different concepts:
- Whether "git pull" itself should care about submodules e.g. whether it
should update the submodule worktrees after performing a merge.
- The value of "--recurse-submodules" to pass to the underlying "git
fetch".
Thus, when `submodule.recurse` is set, the underlying "git fetch" gets
invoked with "--recurse-submodules[=value]", overriding the value of
`fetch.recurseSubmodules`.
An alternative (and more obvious) approach to fix the bug would be to
teach "git pull" to understand `fetch.recurseSubmodules`, but the
proposed solution works better because:
- We don't maintain two identical config-parsing implementions in "git
pull" and "git fetch".
- It works better with other commands invoked by "git pull" e.g. "git
merge" won't accidentally respect `fetch.recurseSubmodules`.

pull: do not let submodule.recurse override fetch.recurseSubmodules
Thanks for the debugging help :)
Changes since v1:
* add a test that actually tests the precedence of the config values
* I've kept the previous test; it has always worked, but it still
seems like a useful smoke test
* reworded the commit message slightly
