2) On "git clone" the submodules must be cloned and checked out too
   (currently you have to do a "git submodule update --init" after
   cloning the superproject).

Making clone do this automatically would be a show-stopper for us.  The
current '--recursive' option is fine (though we never use it).

It would be interesting if the super-project could configure which submodules
to automatically clone.

That's what I have in mind too. Maybe we could use the 'update' option of
.gitmodules to clone all those submodules where it is set. Then different
branches with different .gitmodules would behave differently.

That sounds fine to me.

Thanks again!
