I'm beginning to get the idea that there's a perl (i.e. contrived...) script 
that must be called to fetch each submodule as if done manually. Except that it 
insists on checking out the latest version, even if I prepare the skeleton tree 
with (say):

# git clone -n -b v5.3.2 --depth=1 https://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt532-git
# git -C qt532-git reset --hard v5.3.2

(--depth=1 because guess what, I'm not interested in gigabytes of commit logs.)

R.
