Check if <path> is a valid git-dir or a valid git-file that points
to a valid git-dir.
We want tests to be independent from the fact that a git-dir may
be a git-file. Thus we changed tests to use this feature.

* bc/submodule-foreach-stdin-fix-1.7.4:
git-submodule.sh: preserve stdin for the command spawned by foreach
t/t7407: demonstrate that the command called by 'submodule foreach' loses stdin
Conflicts:
git-submodule.sh
The user-supplied command spawned by 'submodule foreach' loses its
connection to the original standard input. Instead, it is connected to the
output of a pipe within the git-submodule script. The user-supplied
command supplied to 'submodule foreach' is spawned within a while loop
which is being piped into. Due to the way shells implement piping output
to a while loop, a subshell is created with its standard input attached to
the output of the pipe. This results in all of the commands executed
within the while loop to have their stdins modified in the same way,
including the user-supplied command.
This can cause a problem if the command requires reading from stdin or if
it changes its behavior based on whether stdin is a tty or not. For
example, this problem was noticed when trying to execute the following:
git submodule foreach git shortlog --since=two.weeks.ago
which printed a message about entering the first submodule and produced no
further output and exited with a status of zero. In this case, shortlog
detected that it was not connected to a tty, and since no revision was
supplied as an argument, it attempted to read the list of revisions from
standard input. Instead, it slurped up the list of submodules that was
being piped to the enclosing while loop and caused that loop to end early
without processing the remaining submodules.
Work around this behavior by saving the original standard input file
descriptor before the while loop, and restoring it when spawning the
user-supplied command.
This fixes the tests in t7407.

Recursive invocations of submodule update/status preserve all arguments,
so executing
git submodule update --recursive -- foo
attempts to recursively update a submodule named "foo".
Naturally, this fails as one cannot have an infinitely-deep stack of
submodules each containing a submodule named "foo". The desired behavior
is instead to update foo and then recursively update all submodules
inside of foo.
This commit accomplishes that by only saving the flags for use in the
recursive invocation.

Shell variables only hold strings, not lists of parameters,
so $orig_args after
orig_args="$@"
fails to remember where each parameter starts and ends, if
some include whitespace. So
git submodule update \
--reference='/var/lib/common objects.git' \
--recursive --init
becomes
git submodule update --reference=/var/lib/common \
objects.git --recursive --init
in the inner repositories. Use "git rev-parse --sq-quote" to
save parameters in quoted form ready for evaluation by the
shell, avoiding this problem.

Add a $toplevel variable accessible to `git submodule foreach`, it
contains the absolute path of the top level directory (where
.gitmodules is).
This makes it possible to e.g. read data in .gitmodules from within
foreach commands. I'm using this to configure the branch names I want
to track for each submodule:
git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'
For a little history: This patch is borne out of my continuing fight
of trying to have Git track the branches of submodules, not just their
commits.
Obviously that's not how they work (they only track commits), but I'm
just interested in being able to do:
git submodule foreach 'git pull'
Of course that won't work because the submodule is in a disconnected
head, so I first have to connect it, but connect it *to what*.
For a while I was happy with this because as fate had it, it just so
happened to do what I meant:
git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git describe --all --always) && git pull'
But then that broke down, if there's a tag and a branch the tag will
win out, and I can't git pull a branch:
$ git branch -a
* master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/master
$ git tag -l
release-0.0.6
$ git describe --always --all
release-0.0.6
So I figured that I might as well start tracking the branches I want
in .gitmodules itself:
[submodule "yaml-mode"]
path = yaml-mode
url = git://github.com/yoshiki/yaml-mode.git
branch = master
So now I can just do (as stated above):
git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'
Maybe there's a less painful way to do *that* (I'd love to hear about
it). But regardless of that I think it's a good idea to be able to
know what the top-level is from git submodule foreach.

Many projects using submodules expect all submodules to be checked out
in order to build/work correctly. A common command sequence for
developers on such projects is:
git clone url/to/project
cd project
git submodule update --init (--recursive)
This patch introduces the --recursive option to git-clone. The new
option causes git-clone to recursively clone and checkout all
submodules of the cloned project. Hence, the above command sequence
can be reduced to:
git clone --recursive url/to/project
--recursive is ignored if no checkout is done by the git-clone.
The patch also includes documentation and a selftest.

The substring expansion notation is a bashism that we have not so far
adopted. Use 'git rev-parse --short' instead, as this also handles
the case where the unique abbreviation is longer than 7 characters.
Also fix the typo; the object name for submodule #2 was copied from
submodule #1's by mistake.

In very large and hierarchically structured projects, one may encounter
nested submodules. In these situations, it is valuable to not only show
status for all the submodules in the current repo (which is what is
currently done by 'git submodule status'), but also to show status for
all submodules at all levels (i.e. recursing into nested submodules as
well).
This patch teaches the new --recursive option to the 'git submodule status'
command. The patch also includes documentation and selftests.
