Honestly, I don't care what the solution looks like. I just […]
`git submodule update --checkout` is a command that tells Git to check out all submodules, including ones that are explicitly marked not to be checked out normally. If you don't want that to happen, I think "don't run that command" is the obvious solution. I don't think it's fair to ask for stuff that other people need to be removed entirely instead.
I'm not even sure why you're running that manually in the first place? The coreboot Makefile will already automatically check out the blob repositories that you allowed in menuconfig every time it is run. Does that not work for you? If you want a command that just checks out the "normal" blobs manually, like I said, we can add a Git alias for that. Or a Makefile target, if you prefer, so you can run 'make blobs' or something to check them out. None if this is hard to write, I can write it for you if you need me to, but I'm not exactly sure what you want in the first place (other than the solution that ruins other people's use cases).
