We may need an option to ignore these failures. Maybe even active by
default. Imagine a superproject with _optional_ submodules, where it
is just nice to know that some submodules weren't checked out. BTW,
doesn't git-checkout already prints an error?

Probably.  You probably noticed that I haven't written any tests yet...

Still, the error that git-checkout prints may not give enough of a clue
that something was wrong with a submodule.
