fetch/pull: Don't recurse into a submodule when commits are already present
When looking for submodules where new commits have been recorded in the
superproject ignore those cases where the submodules commits are already
present locally. This can happen e.g. when the submodule has been rewound
to an earlier state. Then there is no need to fetch the submodule again
as the commit recorded in the newly fetched superproject commit has
already been fetched earlier into the submodule.
