You can try passing --no-optional-deps or --no-resolve-deps to configure.

To see what those options do, you can call the init-repository script with the -help option.
This would need to be done in a new checkout, because the optional (recommended) dependencies have already been checked out.

Alternatively you could just remove the unwanted submodules.
