Not from me. After all, the top-level superproject is not a submodule from the point of view of the tree, is it? If it were "git submodule-and-superproject foreach", then perhaps, but at that point, wouldn't it be simpler to explain what you are doing as

    do-this . ;# do it here
    git submodule foreach do-this ;# do it there all over

instead?
