If you cloned without recurse-submodules and lack submodules,
wouldn't it be a no-op to have submodule.recurse set to true, so it
would not hurt anyway?

IOW, that may already solve the original problem you wanted to
solve---those who want their submodules recursively descended into
by default can just set submodule.recurse to true (in ~/.gitconfig
presumably) and after "git clone" with --recurse-submodules they
will get what they want, no?  Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks.
