      Basically need an opt-in option in the prefs on the Git tab to have an option whereby you can checkout the HEAD of a submodule regardless of what commit you're checking out on any branch. This is only available in Git any way so can't be done in Mercurial.

            This is a modification of standard git behaviour, which may violate the least-surprise principle.

            Really, this needs to be solved in git itself.
