Hm, while that would work for me (and for you obviously ;-), it
wouldn't make sense for other use cases where submodules are used
as a kind of sparse checkout (and then some of them are never meant
to be checked out, at least by some users).

I don't think recursive fetch would hurt there, as that only
affects already populated submodules, so turning that on by
default sounds safe.

After finishing the recursive checkout of populated submodules
one of my next goals is to teach clone to recurse too, but only
for those submodules where this is wanted (aka configured via
=2Egitmodules).
