hoi :)

what really is the motivation to suppress submodule checkout at this level? I can see that we need some per-submodule option for checkout, but this should influence the actual checkout process and not read-tree.

At least we really want to always update the index correctly and a read-tree --no-submodules which updates the index for submodules but doesn't go into existing submodules just feels wrong.
