Hi,
With git pull or git fetch without specifying --recurse-submodules,
what is the default action?
It seems git fetches submodules wtihout specifying --recurse-submodules.
If this is not clear, please update documentation.
In git pull document --recurse-submodules option, it tells users to
see git-config(1) and gitmodules(5), but does not tell users to refer
to git fetch --recurse-submodules for the meaning of the switches.
In git fetch document --recurse-submodules option, it does not tell
users to see git-config(1) or gitmodules(5).

on-demand fetch (unless something else is configured).

You are right, the documentation for pull and fetch does not state
explicitly that "on-demand" is the default here when the option is
not used.

Thanks for pointing that out. Unless anyone else wants to improve the
documentation I'll look into that in my next git time slot.
