In 1b4735d9f3 (submodule: no [--merge|--rebase] when newly cloned,
2011-02-17), all actions were defaulted to checkout for populating
a submodule initially, because merging or rebasing makes no sense
in that situation.

Other commands however do make sense, such as the custom command
that was added later (6cb5728c43, submodule update: allow custom
command to update submodule working tree, 2013-07-03).

I am unsure about the "none" command, as I can see an initial
checkout there as a useful thing. On the other hand going strictly
by our own documentation, we should do nothing in case of "none"
as well, because the user asked for it.

 Thanks, Brandon, for spotting the unneeded subshell.
 I also fixed the && chaining along the way.
 
 Thanks,
 Stefan
