AFAIK Git has two ways to clone a repository with respect to submodules:
(1) Plain clone of just the repository itself:
git clone git://github.com/foo/bar.git
(2) Recursive clone of the repository including all its submodules:
git clone --recursive git://github.com/foo/bar.git

Git already supports that use case: Just set the "submodule.<name>.update"
configuration to "none" for all submodules you aren't interested in and
"git submodule update" will always skip them.
You can also set this config option globally:
git config --global submodule.<name>.update=none
That'll set the default for all repositories of the logged in user on this
computer to not update submodule <name>.
or even:
git clone --recursive --exclude 3rdParty/Windows/* git://github.com/foo/bar.git
git clone will be influenced by the global setting. If you just want to
skip submodule <name> for a single clone you can do it like this:
git -c submodule.<name>.update=none clone --recursive
git://github.com/foo/bar.git
