Maybe because we do a (kind of) gentle status run on submodules
whether the status.SubmoduleSummary set or not.

Yup, because checking a submodule for its dirtiness has to be done
no matter if the summary output is also wanted.

Yeah. Why?

Usually a background
run of "git status" for every submodules goes unnoticed, just
sometimes a submodule is a little too big.

I tried this, but feels like a bit of overkill.

This patch seems to disable submodule output completely for the default
case (when status.SubmoduleSummary is false) and breaks 17 test cases.

That's why I said it feels like overkill
