I like this part a lot.

I see no backward-compatibility to wait for this, but I would be more included to trust people using "git submodule update" heavily than I do. The "submodule update" change could cause the following to break. Would that be disruptive?

	cd submodule
	git fetch --no-recurse-submodules
	...
	cd ..
	bin/script-to-update-submodules-that-calls-submodule-update

Thanks a lot for working on this. Jonathan
