I do not remember the details of the patch in the previous round
that corresponds to PATCH 2/3 here, so I cannot comment on the
incremental improvement between the two, but the fallback in 2/3
looks like a sensible thing to do.

Let's see what others, especially those who are interested in the
"--recurse-submodules" area, say.

Thanks.
