[PATCH 0/2] clone: record submodule alternates when not recursing

The meat is in the second patch:
    The commit 31224cbdc7 (clone: recursive and reference option triggers
    submodule alternates, 2016-08-17) argued for any further `submodule update`
    to respect the initial setup. This is not the case if you only pass
    '--reference[-if-able]' to the initial clone without instructing to
    recurse into submodules.
    
    If there are submodules however the user is likely to later run
    a 'submodule update --init' to obtain the submodules. In this case we
    also want to have the references available.

The first patch produces a nice helper function and some refactoring.

Thanks, Stefan
