git-submodule: add support for --rebase.
'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. git-config key: submodule.$name.rebase (bool) Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
