In a project containing submodules, one of the submodules
contains a submodule itself, which in turn also contains
a submodule.

Overview:

project/foobar  [submodule]
project/cwm4    [submodule]
project/evio    [submodule]
project/evio/protocol/matrixssl       [submodule]
project/evio/protocol/matrixssl/cwm4  [submodule]

('protocol' is a normal subdirectory)

Running (with or without the --quiet),

$ git submodule --quiet update --init --recursive --remote
Fetching submodule protocol/matrixssl
Fetching submodule protocol/matrixssl/cwm4
Fetching submodule cwm4

This is odd (a bug imho) because

1) it seems to only print this fetching information for submodules inside submodules,
not for the top-level submodules.
2) it even prints this when using --quiet
3) it prints this every time (also when there is nothing more to fetch).
