Description
I've looked quite a bit but can't find anything about submodule support. So, is it supported? I see that it's not possible with checkout but what about manually enumerating repo.submodules?

Research direction
Start with the checkout implementation and the repo.submodules API, then trace how the update_submodules strategy is handled. Determine whether manually enumerating submodules is supported and document the current behavior or the missing support; completion requires a clear answer about checkout with this strategy.
