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 In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test".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.

The code to find a more descriptive name given a commit in a
submodule were improved in bffe71f, but it forgot to remove the
older logic the patch replaced.

"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
status of a submodule to be described/displayed relative to lightweight
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.
With this change a submodule can be moved between different 'checkout paths'
without upsetting git-submodule.

Rename [module] to [submodule], so that it would be more
forward compatible with the proposed extension by harmonizing
the section names used in .gitmodules and .git/config.

After the initial clone of a submodule, no files would be checked out in
the submodule directory if the submodule HEAD was equal to the SHA-1
specified in the index of the containing repository. This fixes the problem
by simply ignoring submodule HEAD for a fresh clone.

This teaches 'git-submodule init' to register submodule paths and urls in
.git/config instead of actually cloning them. The cloning is now handled
as part of 'git-submodule update'.
With this change it is possible to specify preferred/alternate urls for
the submodules in .git/config before the submodules are cloned.

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.
