I very much miss in this description a reflection of my analysis in
https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/
Given that analysis, combined with the fact that the `--jobs` option
tries to control both the `--multiple` and `--recursive-submodules` code
paths in the end, anyway, I do doubt that it makes sense to even
introduce the `--fetch-jobs` and the `--submodule-fetch-jobs` options;
They are probably only confusing and do not add much benefit to the end
user.
Ciao,
