I think the problem is that when git "switches" to working in the
submodule repository, it clears the environment, which includes any "-c"
command switches. This makes sense for some situations, but not for
others. This thread shows a similar problem:

Jens suggested there adding an option to tell clone to pass specific
variables to the submodule, which I think makes sense. AFAIK, nobody has
done any work yet on that approach.
This is something that I am also interested in, haven't had a chance
to look at it just yet though. I may have some time soon to take a
stab at this.
To have this issue addressed would be great. It's currently preventing
me to switch our authentication-related code to credential helpers.
Jake, I'm happy to help, if I can (I don't have any experience with Git
code though, except of browsing it a couple of times ... so patches from
my side would need a lot of review I guess :). Just let me know.
