http.proxy seems to not be propagated on `submodule update`

http.proxy seems to not be propagated on `submodule update`

Hello,

I'm trying to recursively update submodules in a repo on a server that 
requires a proxy to access the internet.

I typically pass http.proxy with -c to tell git about the proxy, but 
with `submodule update`, it seems the argument isn't propagated and thus 
results in the process sitting doing nothing when it tries to connect.

Is this expected behaviour?
