Hi

In recent grpc recipe has changed to gitsm:// from git:// because of which now all submodules are downloaded even though all may not require.

My question not to grpc recipes but in general when a recipe uses gitstm may have these two issues.

1. Unnecessarily some of the submodules/packages have to be maintained in localmirror even though it is not required.

2. Most importantly, if a submodule/package is enabled by default internally, the package will not appear in the final manifest file and miss out in the final SBOM file.
