I have been under the impression that that has been the traditional
desire of what .update ought to mean.  I personally do not have a
strong opinion---at least not yet.

I think that is sensible as long as the user does not explicitly say
"this and that submodule behave differently" by giving configuration
variables.  Perhaps .update is one of those that should countermand
the default behaviour of "--recurse-submodules"?
