This was part of the former series 'submodule groups'. However the labeling was ripped out and goes in its own series sb/pathspec-label.
First we introduce a switch `--init-default-path` for `git submodule update` which will read the pathspec to initialize the submodules not from the command line but from `submodule.defaultUpdatePath`, which can be configured permanently. The second patch utilizes this by having `clone` set that config option and using that new option when calling to update the submodules.
