This actually bit me just now. github.com/gitster/git.git is mirror pushed, and it would seem to take forever, so I killed it, and flipped the configuration variable off. Which means the feature won't ever get any testing from me in real life. People, git.git is not a large project in any sense of the word. Why wasn't it discovered that "push.recursesubmodules = check" is UNUSABLE since it was introduced is simply beyond me. I am mad (which is unusual for me, isn't it? -- I've seen somebody else saying "I am mad", but I do not think I ever said it here).
