When working with submodules, it is easy to forget to push the submodules. The setting 'check', which checks if any existing submodule is present on at least one remote of the submodule remotes, is designed to prevent this mistake.
Flipping the default to check for submodules is safer than the current default of ignoring submodules while pushing.
However checking for submodules requires additional work[1], which annoys users that do not use submodules, so we turn on the check for submodules based on a cheap heuristic, the existence of the .git/modules directory. That directory doesn't exist when no submodules are used and is only created and populated when submodules are cloned/added.
When the submodule directory doesn't exist, a user may have changed the gitlinks via plumbing commands. Currently the default is to not check. RECURSE_SUBMODULES_DEFAULT is effectively RECURSE_SUBMODULES_OFF currently, though it may change in the future. When no submodules exist such a check is pointless as it would fail anyway, so let's just turn it off.

Jeff, thanks for the suggestions, both git_path(..) as well as checking the config, this seems quite readable to me:
