This is something I'll fix while working up a trial patch.  Currently
cmd_update calls module_clone if the <submodule>/.git does not exist.
This should probably happen in each command (in a wrapper around
module_list?).  It's possible that module_list itself would need some
work, but I haven't absorbed its implementation yet [1].
