Yes, it's working as designed. From the documentation, `fetchRecurseSubmodules` only applies to `git fetch` and `git pull`, not `git submodule`. Even if it did, you still specified recursive behaviour in a command-line option, and command-line operations override the configuration. If you don't want recursion, you'll need to skip the `--recursive` flag. -- brian m. carlson (they/them or he/him) Toronto, Ontario, CA
