+--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]::
+       This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of
+       populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a
+       boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to
+       unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to
+       'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any
+       value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule
+       when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
+       reference to a commit that isn't already in the local submodule
+       clone.
+
+--no-recurse-submodules::
+       Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as
+       using the '--recurse-submodules=no' option).
+
+--submodule-prefix=<path>::
+       Prepend <path> to paths printed in informative messages

+--recurse-submodules-default=[yes|on-demand]::
+       This option is used internally to temporarily provide a
+       non-negative default value for the --recurse-submodules
+       option.  All other methods of configuring fetch's submodule
+       recursion (such as settings in linkgit:gitmodules[5] and
+       linkgit:git-config[1]) override this option, as does
+       specifying --[no-]recurse-submodules directly.
