I configured my local git to fetch with recurseSubmodules = on-demand, which I found the most convenient setting. However then I noticed that I mostly use git pull actually to fetch from remotes, but git pull does not utilize any recurseSubmoddules setting now, or at least I could not find such.
I would expect that if git-config has fetch.recurseSubmodules set, also git pull should use this setting, or at least similar option such as pull.recurseSubmodules should be available. I'd prefer sharing fetch.recurseSubmodules setting here.
I've attached a minimal patch, which I believe implements this configuration usage, and a test case to show my expected behavior for git pull.
