But only for sub-modules that need updating (i.e. their HEAD differs 
from the one in the master repostiory). So you get one fetch for the 
master repository, followed with a series of fetches on the 
sub-repositories that don't match the master.

Compare this with mr, where 'mr update' results in a 'git pull' for 
each and every sub-repository.

Still, a real world test would be nice and something I am willing to 
do.
