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.
To me, --recurse-submodules means submodules are still not first-class
citizens. But let's put that aside for a moment; I don't care about
the switch name too much as long as I can configure
'diff.recurse-submodules = true'.
After somebody implemented the 'full' mode for 'diff --submodule',
setting 'diff.submodule' to 'full' would make --recurse-submodules the
default for diff (unless recursing into the submodules is overridden
by either the global 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' or the per-submodule
'submodule.<name>.ignore' setting of course).
[The following is rather long. I'm sorry for that. Feel free to look
away when it gets too vague.]
Sorry, that was too long for todays git time budget ;-)
