When switching to 2.20 our `git submodule update' (which clones through ssh) broke because our ssh-server rejected the ~20 simultaneous connections the git-client makes. This seems to be caused by a (possibly unintended) change in https://github.com/git/git/commit/90efe595c53f4bb1851371344c35eff71f604d2b which removed the default of max_jobs=1

While this can easily be fixed by configuring submodule.fetchJobs I think this change should be documented - or reverted back to it's previous default of 1

-- Kind regards,
