"git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" learns to rebase the
branch in the submodules to an updated base.

pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only)
builtin/fetch: parse recurse-submodules-default at default options parsing

As the submodule process is no longer attached to the same file pointer
'o->file' as the superprojects process, there is a different result in
color.c::check_auto_color. That is why we need to pass coloring explicitly,
such that the submodule coloring decision will be made by the child process
processing the submodule. Only DIFF_SYMBOL_SUBMODULE_PIPETHROUGH contains
color, the other symbols are for embedding the submodule output into the
superprojects output.
Remove the colors from the function signatures, as all the coloring
decisions will be made either inside the child process or the final
emit_diff_symbol, but not in the functions driving the submodule diff.

Teach pull to optionally update submodules when '--recurse-submodules'
is provided. This will teach pull to run 'submodule update --rebase'
when the '--recurse-submodules' and '--rebase' flags are given under
specific circumstances.
On a rebase workflow:
=====================
1. Both sides change the submodule
------------------------------
Let's assume the following history in a submodule:
H---I---J---K---L local branch
\
M---N---O---P remote branch
and the following in the superproject (recorded submodule in parens):
A(H)---B(I)---F(K)---G(L) local branch
\
C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch
In an ideal world this would rebase the submodule and rewrite
the submodule pointers that the superproject points at such that
the superproject looks like
A(H)---B(I) F(K')---G(L') rebased branch
\ /
C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch
and the submodule as:
J---K---L (old dangeling tip)
/
H---I J'---K'---L' rebased branch
\ /
M---N---O---P remote branch
And if a conflict arises in the submodule the superproject rebase
would stop at that commit at which the submodule conflict occurs.
Currently a "pull --rebase" in the superproject produces
a merge conflict as the submodule pointer changes are
conflicting and cannot be resolved.
2. Local submodule changes only
-----------------------
Assuming histories as above, except that the remote branch
would not contain submodule changes, then a result as
A(H)---B(I) F(K)---G(L) rebased branch
\ /
C(I)---D(I)---E(I) remote branch
is desire-able. This is what currently happens in rebase.
If the recursive flag is given, the ideal git would
produce a superproject as:
A(H)---B(I) F(K')---G(L') rebased branch (incl. sub rebase!)
\ /
C(I)---D(I)---E(I) remote branch
and the submodule as:
J---K---L (old dangeling tip)
/
H---I J'---K'---L' locally rebased branch
\ /
M---N---O---P advanced branch
This patch doesn't address this issue, however
a test is added that this fails up front.
3. Remote submodule changes only
----------------------
Assuming histories as in (1) except that the local superproject branch
would not have touched the submodule the rebase already works out in the
superproject with no conflicts:
A(H)---B(I) F(P)---G(P) rebased branch (no sub changes)
\ /
C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch
The recurse flag as presented in this patch would additionally
update the submodule as:
H---I J'---K'---L' rebased branch
\ /
M---N---O---P remote branch
As neither J, K, L nor J', K', L' are referred to from the superproject,
no rewriting of the superproject commits is required.
Conclusion for 'pull --rebase --recursive'
-----------------------------------------
If there are no local superproject changes it is sufficient to call
"submodule update --rebase" as this produces the desired results. In case
of conflicts, the behavior is the same as in 'submodule update --recursive'
which is assumed to be sane.
This patch implements (3) only.
On a merge workflow:
====================
We'll start off with the same underlying DAG as in (1) in the rebase
workflow. So in an ideal world a 'pull --merge --recursive' would
produce this:
H---I---J---K---L----X
\ /
M---N---O---P
with X as the new merge-commit in the submodule and the superproject
as:
A(H)---B(I)---F(K)---G(L)---Y(X)
\ /
C(N)---D(N)---E(P)
However modifying the submodules on the fly is not supported in git-merge
such that Y(X) is not easy to produce in a single patch. In fact git-merge
doesn't know about submodules at all.
However when at least one side does not contain commits touching the
submodule at all, then we do not need to perform the merge for the
submodule but a fast-forward can be done via checking out either L or P
in the submodule. This strategy is implemented in 68d03e4a6e (Implement
automatic fast-forward merge for submodules, 2010-07-07) already, so
to align with the rebase behavior we need to also update the worktree
of the submodule.

The callback function is essentially duplicated 3 times. Remove all
of them and offer a new callback function, that lives in submodule.c
By putting the callback function there, we no longer need the function
'set_config_update_recurse_submodules', nor duplicate the global variable
in each builtin as well as submodule.c
In the three builtins we have different 2 ways how to load the .gitmodules
and config file, which are slightly different. git-checkout has to load
the submodule config all the time due to 23b4c7bcc5 (checkout: Use
submodule.*.ignore settings from .git/config and .gitmodules, 2010-08-28)
git-reset and git-read-tree do not respect these diff settings, so loading
the submodule configuration is optional. Also put that into submodule.c
for code deduplication.

Since (ae8d08242 pathspec: pass directory indicator to

with submodules without needing to strip off a trailing slash if a path
refers to a submodule.
Since the stripping the trailing slash is no longer necessary, remove
the PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE flag. In addition, factor
out the logic which dies if a path decends into a submodule so that it
can still be used as a check after a pathspec struct has been
initialized.

Currently 'git add' is the only command which dies when launched from an
unpopulated submodule (the place-holder directory for a submodule which
hasn't been checked out). This is triggered implicitly by passing the
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE flag to 'parse_pathspec()'.
Instead make this desire more explicit by creating a function
'die_in_unpopulated_submodule()' which dies if the provided 'prefix' has
a leading path component which matches a submodule in the the index.

In different contexts the question "Is it ok to delete a submodule?"

In 293ab15eea (submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they
contain a git directory, 2012-09-26) a case was made that we can safely
ignore ignored untracked files for removal as we explicitely ask for the
removal of the submodule.
In a later patch we want to remove submodules even when the user doesn't
explicitly ask for it (e.g. checking out a tree-ish in which the submodule
doesn't exist). In that case we want to be more careful when it comes
to deletion of untracked files. As of this patch it is unclear how this
will be implemented exactly, so we'll offer flags in which the caller
can specify how the different untracked files ought to be handled.
As the flags allow the function to not die on an error when spawning
a child process, we need to find an appropriate return code for the
case when the child process could not be started. As in that case we
cannot tell if the submodule is ok to remove, we'd want to return 'false'.
As only 0 is understood as false, rename the function to invert the
meaning, i.e. the return code of 0 signals the removal of the submodule
is fine, and other values can be used to return a more precise answer
what went wrong.

As the upcoming series will add a lot of functions to the submodule
header, let's first make the header consistent to the rest of the project
by adding the extern keyword to functions.
As per the CodingGuidelines we try to stay below 80 characters per line,
so adapt all those functions to stay below 80 characters that are already
using more than one line. Those function using just one line are better
kept in one line than breaking them up into multiple lines just for the
goal of staying below the character limit as it makes grepping
for functions easier if they are one liners.

teach submodules to load a '.gitmodules' file from a commit sha1. This
enables the population of the submodule_cache to be based on the state
of the '.gitmodules' file from a particular commit.

Add the `is_submodule_initialized()` helper function to submodules.c.
`is_submodule_initialized()` performs a check to determine if the
submodule at the given path has been initialized.
