Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Introduce submodule.recurse option

From: Stefan Beller <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 14:31:35 -0700

Any command that understands the boolean --recurse-submodule=[true/false]
can have its default changed to true, by setting the submodule.recurse
option.

git-push takes a --recurse-submodule argument but it is not boolean,
hence it is not included (yet?).
