to be done unconditionally) can be done always.

Right. Perhaps not a commit in submodule but a recursive check
for working directory changes in submodules. So that you can
make that you don't make a superproject commit which cannot
be resolved to what you had in all the working directories:

  git commit -a --check-clean-subprojects
