As cloning a submodule talks a lot about its progress am I right
suspecting it is the checkout part that is taking so long for you?
The submodule script always uses the -q option for git checkout
(which also gets rid of the unwanted "detached HEAD" messages). So
AFAICS before a --progress option could be added to the submodule
script, git checkout would have to learn an option to show progress
but not the detached HEAD message (or to just suppress that advice).

What times are we talking about here?
