Both status and diff are read-only operations, so this smells like a
bit bogus argument made by comparing apples and oranges.
I think Lars is more interested in operations that actually affects
the state of submodules by updating them---"submodule update" may be
a prime example as it goes down to run fetch, pull and/or checkout.
It may have been the only thing that affected the state of
submodules before the "--recurse-submodules" option was added to
commands that affect the state of the (super)project, but I would
think that it is not so wrong to expect that these state-affecting
operations running in the "recurse into submodules" mode to honor
"do not update this submodule" that used to be honored only by
"submodule update".
