Description
After upgrading to version 1.1.5 of the Git plug-in, our jobs on machines with Git 1.7.0 have started breaking since the Git plug-in issues "submodule" commands, which this version of Git apparently does not support.
It fails like this:
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Error performing command: /ld/env/bin/git submodule init
Command "/ld/env/bin/git submodule init" returned status code 1: git: 'submodule' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.
We don't even use submodules, so there's no reason for Jenkins to bother in the first place?

I can't understand why there'd be a .gitmodules in our repo considering we've never used that functionality. Anyway, I can't reproduce the issue with 1.1.6 and Git 1.7.0, so I guess we might as well consider it fixed.

If JENKINS-6658 issue can be fixed (pull request to be merged), then this can be used for a workaround for this issue and it can be closed.

git 1.7.0 definitely should have submodule - not sure why yours doesn't. Also, that command should only be getting called if there's a ".gitmodules" file in your repo in the first place - could you try this with version 1.1.6 of the git plugin?
