Just to check, because the git docs are a bit unclear to me,
does this retain the existing behaviour that if a submodule
isn't checked out at all then it remains not-checked-out ?
(That is, we don't want to force developers to have checked
out submodule sources for all the edk2 and other rom blob
sources which aren't needed for day-to-day QEMU development.)
