I think your "if a particular submodule is already initialized, recursing
into it is more likely than not what the user wants" is a sound heuristic.
I am not sure what you mean by "all submodules" nor "all repos", though.
In order to trigger the feature this series introduces, users have a means
to initialize all submodules in one go (update --recursive --init), and
wouldn't that be sufficient?
