Hello Git,

First discovered here: https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues/11783
Another discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58403616/does-git-submodule-update-recursive-override-fetchrecursesubmodules
Manual: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmodules#Documentation/gitmodules.txt-submoduleltnamegtfetchRecurseSubmodules
---

If use a recursive submodule, for example:

A->B->A->...

And call submodules Update on A, then the Update does ignore the flag and keeps fetch recursively with the error at the end:

>  fatal: Failed to recurse into submodule path ...

Is that supposed to work this way or is an bug?
