'git status' and 'git commit' can be told to also show the output of "git
submodule summary" by setting the "status.submodulesummary" config option.
But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the
"submodule.<name>.ignore" settings, which then disable the summary partly
or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not
affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented.
Extend the documentation in those places where "status.submodulesummary",
"diff.ignoreSubmodules" and "submodule.<name>.ignore" are described to
better explain these dependencies.

The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1). Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1. This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.
However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject. Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:
$ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'
With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates. When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch. If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`. You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).
Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================
Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option. The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in
commit f030c96d8643fa0a1a9b2bd9c2f36a77721fb61f

git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.
Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same. The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls. The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`. Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.
Implementation details
======================
In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1. However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:
if test -z "$nofetch"
then
# Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
# is not reachable from a ref.
(clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
fi
There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository. If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This
was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work
tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of
the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the
submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a
different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as
that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository
instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the
wrong repository.
Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the
submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to
remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it
makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule
and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the
same reason).
To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of
the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the
call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already
know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

This option was not yet described in the gitmodules documentation. We
only described it in the 'git submodule' command documentation but
gitmodules is the more natural place to look.
A short reference in the 'git submodule' documentation should be
sufficient since the details can now be found in the documentation to
gitmodules.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

The new boolean "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config option controls the
behavior for "git fetch" and "git pull". It specifies if these commands
should recurse into submodules and fetch new commits there too and can be
set separately for each submodule.
In the .gitmodules file "submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules" entries
are read before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in
.git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the
user to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting
upstream set reasonable defaults for those users who don't have special
needs.
This configuration can be overridden by the command line option
"--[no-]recurse-submodules" of "git fetch" and "git pull".

There is already excellent documentation for this facility in
git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable.
Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the
same repository over multiple protocols, for example.

'git submodule update --merge' merges the commit referenced by the
superproject into your local branch, instead of checking it out on
a detached HEAD.
As evidenced by the addition of "git submodule update --rebase", it
is useful to provide alternatives to the default 'checkout' behaviour
of "git submodule update". One such alternative is, when updating a
submodule to a new commit, to merge that commit into the current
local branch in that submodule. This is useful in workflows where
you want to update your submodule from its upstream, but you cannot
use --rebase, because you have downstream people working on top of
your submodule branch, and you don't want to disrupt their work.

The addition of "submodule.<name>.rebase" demonstrates the usefulness of
alternatives to the default behaviour of "git submodule update". However,
by naming the config variable "submodule.<name>.rebase", and making it a
boolean choice, we are artificially constraining future git versions that
may want to add _more_ alternatives than just "rebase".
Therefore, while "submodule.<name>.rebase" is not yet in a stable git
release, future-proof it, by changing it from
submodule.<name>.rebase = true/false
to
submodule.<name>.update = rebase/checkout
where "checkout" specifies the default behaviour of "git submodule update"
(checking out the new commit to a detached HEAD), and "rebase" specifies
the --rebase behaviour (where the current local branch in the submodule is
rebase onto the new commit). Thus .update == checkout is equivalent to
.rebase == false, and .update == rebase is equivalent to .rebase == true.
Finally, leaving .update unset is equivalent to leaving .rebase unset.
In future git versions, other alternatives to "git submodule update"
behaviour can be included by adding them to the list of allowable values
for the submodule.<name>.update variable.

'git submodule update --rebase' rebases your local branch on top of what
would have been checked out to a detached HEAD otherwise.
In some cases, detaching the HEAD when updating a submodule complicates
the workflow to commit to this submodule (checkout master, rebase, then
commit). For submodules that require frequent updates but infrequent
(if any) commits, a rebase can be executed directly by the git-submodule
command, ensuring that the submodules stay on their respective branches.

Asciidoc configuration:

Asciidoc treats a line starting with a period followed by a title as a
blocktitle element. My introduction of gitmodules(5) unfortunatly broke
the documentation build process due to this processing, since it made
asciidoc generate an illegal (empty) synopsis element. Removing the leading
period fixes the problem and also makes gitmodules(5) use the same synopsis
notation as gitattributes(5).
