For what it's worth, for my (odd) use cases, what would be most practical is

	[remote "foo"]
		fetch = ...
		submodules = ...
I could care less about the defaults. :)
Rationale: I shouldn't have to explicitly use --submodules to get
everything I need to hack before dropping connectivity, but I also
don't want to pay the penalty of fetching, say, git-gui when I don't
need it.
