This actually bit me just now.  github.com/gitster/git.git is
mirror pushed, and it would seem to take forever, so I killed it,
and flipped the configuration variable off.  Which means the feature
won't ever get any testing from me in real life.

People, git.git is not a large project in any sense of the word.

Why wasn't it discovered that "push.recursesubmodules = check" is
UNUSABLE since it was introduced is simply beyond me.

I am mad (which is unusual for me, isn't it? -- I've seen somebody
else saying "I am mad", but I do not think I ever said it here).
