You can already override this by editing .git/config after running
'git submodule init'. Of course, doing so precludes using --recursive

The git-submodule stuff is rarely maintained. I expect patches that
improve it will meet with generally positive response, but it's
somewhat unlikely that anyone will write them for you.
