Merge branch 'jt/clone-recursesub-ref-advise'
The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
alternate object store was ill-designed. The documentation and
code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
users see failures.
* jt/clone-recursesub-ref-advise:
submodule--helper: advise on fatal alternate error
Doc: explain submodule.alternateErrorStrategy
