"git pull" supports a --recurse-submodules option but does not parse the submodule.recurse configuration item to set the default for that option. Meanwhile "git fetch" does support submodule.recurse, producing confusing behavior: when submodule.recurse is enabled, "git pull" recursively fetches submodules but does not update them after fetch.

Handle submodule.recurse in "git pull" to fix this.
