The obvious use case for "I want the superproject and just one
submodule" is when the superproject has build tools, header files, or
other pieces of data that are shared by some/all of the submodules.
Maybe not the case in BSD per se, but having a top-level file full of
settings, paths to tools, etc. that gets included by the individual
Makefiles in subdirectories isn't all that uncommon in complex
multi-part projects.
