Ah, I was under the impression that users are surprised by --depth not propagating into the submodules, so I considered this a bugfix which doesn't need extra configuration (and the subject line seems to support my impression ;-). And if some users really need the old behavior, they can remove the --recurse-submodules from the clone and issue a submodule update afterwards (Unless they speak up now and tell us why having --depth only apply to the superproject is a feature ... ;-).
