Nice work, thanks!

Just a small thing: This problem also happens when the configuration
"submodule.<name>.update" is set to either "rebase" or "merge", not only
when using the command line options. So perhaps you could reword the topic
to something like "submodule: don't merge or rebase when newly cloned" and
adjust both commit messages a bit?

Apart from that:
