http.proxy seems to not be propagated on `submodule update`

[Chris Down]

Hello,






Is this expected behaviour?

I'm trying to recursively update submodules in a repo on a server that requires a proxy to access the internet. I typically pass http.proxy with -c to tell git about the proxy, but with `submodule update`, it seems the argument isn't propagated and thus results in the process sitting doing nothing when it tries to connect.
