Well, I would actually argue that you may often want to have a
supermodule and then at least have the _option_ to decide to not
fetch all the submodules.

If you want to allow this, you have to be able to cut off fetching the
objects of the supermodule at borders to given submodules, the ones you
do not want to track. With "border" I mean the submodule commit in some
tree of the supermodule.

I don't think this is something special to submodules.  There has been
interest in checking out only a part of the tree even before talking
about submodules and I really think this feature should be independent
to submodules.
