Ideally, as a "git clone --recursive" already exists, I would like to

Something possibly to propose to the Git mailing list?
Such an option makes lots of sense to me (though "--recurse-submodules"
should be its name for consistency reasons). This could be an alias for
"--submodule=full", as the "--submodule" option controls the format of
submodule diffs.
I've worked on git diff --recursive a bit myself, along with some
simpler use cases (git ls-tree --recursive) as POCs. I think some of
the needs there begin to have ui implications which could be
high-friction. I really want to finish it someday, but I've been too
busy lately at $job, and now my experiments are all rather stale.
It would be a good discussion to have over at the git list (copied).
Heiko and Jens have laid some new groundwork in this area and it may
be a good time to revisit it. Or maybe they've even moved deeper than
that; I have been distracted for well over a year now.
Glad you're working (or planning to) working on submodulues. This is
also on my todo list for the next months as well.
More hands are always welcome!
I'd review stuff in that area if you're looking for reviewers.
I'll be happy help too.
