Yes, if I understand GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS correctly we should not
clean it as the user explicitly asked us to use that setting.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Does the user really want the setting of
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES to be honored inside the submodule
too or would he want a different setting (including none)? I suspect
different users would give different answers. And wouldn't a working
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (or configuring the submodule after the initial
clone) be the solution for that?
