If we want a useful and flexible "recurse", perhaps the only thing we 
need to do is a command that lists a submodule directory path, one 
path at a time, in optionally different traversal order and depth 
cutoff, so that the user can feed it to xargs and do whatever they 
want to run in there.

How about Windows? Do we want to depend on something like 
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/findutils.htm or does msysgit 
ship with xargs? (Or do we not intend to build internal commands upon 
this system and leave using the output of "recurse" to the user?)

git-repack already relies on "find", and if you have no silly naming 
scheme *1*, you do not need "xargs".  Besides, we do ship xargs.exe.

*1* Oops, this is Windows, right?
