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.
