When working in the top-level project, it is useful to create a new
submodule as a git repo in a subdirectory, then add that submodule to
the top-level in place.
This patch allows "git submodule add <intended url> subdir" to add the
existing subdir to the current project. The presumption is the user will
later push / clone the subdir to the <intended url> so that future
submodule init / updates will work.
Absent this patch, "git submodule add" insists upon cloning the subdir
from a repository at the given url, which is fine for adding an existing
project in, but less useful when adding a new submodule from scratch to an
existing project. The former functionality remains, and the clone is
attempted if the subdir does not already exist as a valid git repo.

The subcommand parser of "git submodule" made its subcommand
names reserved words. As a consequence, a command like this:
$ git submodule add init update
which is meant to add a submodule called 'init' at path 'update'
was misinterpreted as a request to invoke more than one mutually
incompatible subcommands and incorrectly rejected.
This patch fixes the issue by stopping the subcommand parsing at
the first subcommand word, to allow the sample command line
above to work as expected.
It also introduces the usual -- option disambiguator, so that a
submodule at path '-foo' can be updated with
$ git submodule update -- -foo
without triggering an "unrecognized option -foo" error.

This renames the shell functions used in git-submodule that
implement top-level subcommands. The rule is that the
subcommand $foo is implemented by cmd_$foo function.
A noteworthy change is that modules_list() is now known as
cmd_status(). There is no "submodule list" command.

POSIX says that exit status "0" means that "unset" successfully unset
the variable. However, it is kind of ambiguous if an environment
variable which was not set could be successfully unset.
At least the default shell on HP-UX insists on reporting an error in
such a case, so just ignore the exit status of "unset".
[Dscho: extended the patch to git-submodule.sh, as Junio realized that
this is the only other place where we check the exit status of "unset".]

When escaping a string to be used as a sed regex, it is important
to only escape active characters. Escaping other characters is
undefined according to POSIX, and in practice leads to issues with
extensions such as GNU sed's \+.

This allows a subproject's location to be specified and stored as relative
to the parent project's location (e.g., ./foo, or ../foo). This url is
stored in .gitmodules as given. It is resolved into an absolute url by
appending it to the parent project's url when the information is written
to .git/config (i.e., during submodule add for the originator, and
submodule init for a downstream recipient). This allows cloning of the
project to work "as expected" if the project is hosted on a different
server than when the subprojects were added.

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with
while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac
and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.
A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

"module_name $path" function wants to look up a configuration
variable "submodule.<modulename>.path" whose value is $path, and
return the <modulename> found. "git-config --get-regexp" is the
natural thing to use for this, but (1) its value matching has an
unfortunate "feature" that takes leading '!' specially, and (2)
its output needs to be parsed with sed to extract <modulename>
part anyway.
This changes the call to "git-config --get-regexp" not to use
the value-regexp part, and moves the "pick the one whose value
is $path" part to the downstream sed.

Some repositories might not use/have annotated tags (for example the
ones created with git-cvsimport) and git-submodule status might fail
because git-describe might fail to find a tag. This change allows the

tags as well.

To make a submodule effectively usable, the path and
a URL where the submodule can be cloned need to be stored
in .gitmodules. This subcommand takes care of setting
this information after cloning the new submodule.
Only the index is updated, so, if needed, the user may still
change the URL or switch to a different branch of the submodule
before committing.

This changes the way git-submodule uses .gitmodules: Subsections no longer
specify the submodule path, they now specify the submodule name. The
submodule path is found under the new key "submodule.<name>.path", which is
a required key.

without upsetting git-submodule.

This command can be used to initialize, update and inspect submodules. It
uses a .gitmodules file, readable by git-config, in the top level directory
of the 'superproject' to specify a mapping between submodule paths and
repository url.
Example .gitmodules layout:
[module "git"]
url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
With this entry in .gitmodules (and a commit reference in the index entry for
the path "git"), the command 'git submodule init' will clone the repository
at kernel.org into the directory "git".
Known issues
============
There is currently no way to override the url found in the .gitmodules file,
except by manually creating the subproject repository. The place to fix this
in the script has a rather long comment about a possible plan.
Funny paths will be quoted in the output from git-ls-files, but git-submodule
does not attempt to unquote (or even detect the presence of) such paths.
