f6a5279977 submodule deinit: require '--all' instead of '.' for all submodules
The discussion in [1] pointed out that '.' is a faulty suggestion as
there is a corner case where it fails:

> "submodule deinit ." may have "worked" in the sense that you would
> have at least one path in your tree and avoided this "nothing
> matches" most of the time.  It would have still failed with the
> exactly same error if run in an empty repository, i.e.
>
>        $ E=/var/tmp/x/empty && rm -fr "$E" && mkdir -p "$E" && cd "$E"
>        $ git init
>        $ rungit v2.6.6 submodule deinit .
>        error: pathspec '.' did not match any file(s) known to git.
>        Did you forget to 'git add'?
>        $ >file && git add file
>        $ rungit v2.6.6 submodule deinit .
>        $ echo $?
>        0

So instead of a pathspec add the '--all' option to deinit all submodules
and add a test to check for the corner case of an empty repository.

The code only needs to learn about the '--all' option and doesn't
require further changes as `git submodule--helper list "$@"` will list
all submodules when "$@" is empty.

860cba61a3 submodule: export sanitized GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
Commit 14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from
command line, 2016-02-29) taught git-submodule.sh to save
the sanitized value of $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS when clearing
the environment for a submodule. However, it failed to
export the result, meaning that it had no effect for any
sub-programs.

We didn't catch this in our initial tests because we checked
only the "clone" case, which does not go through the shell
script at all. Provoking "git submodule update" to do a
fetch demonstrates the bug.

3604242f08 submodule: port init from shell to C
By having the `submodule init` functionality in C, we can reference it
easier from other parts in the code in later patches. The code is split
up to have one function to initialize one submodule and a calling function
that takes care of the rest, such as argument handling and translating the
arguments to the paths of the submodules.

This is the first submodule subcommand that is fully converted to C
except for the usage string, so this is actually removing a call to
the `submodule--helper list` function, which is supposed to be used in
this transition. Instead we'll make a direct call to `module_list_compute`.

An explanation why we need to edit the prefixes in cmd_update in
git-submodule.sh in this patch:

By having no processing in the shell part, we need to convey the notion
of wt_prefix and prefix to the C parts, which former patches punted on
and did the processing of displaying path in the shell.

`wt_prefix` used to hold the path from the repository root to the current
directory, e.g. wt_prefix would be t/ if the user invoked the
`git submodule` command in ~/repo/t and ~repo is the GIT_DIR.

`prefix` used to hold the relative path from the repository root to the
operation, e.g. if you have recursive submodules, the shell script would
modify the `prefix` in each recursive step by adding the submodule path.

We will pass `wt_prefix` into the C helper via `git -C <dir>` as that
will setup git in the directory the user actually called git-submodule.sh
from. The `prefix` will be passed in via the `--prefix` option.

Having `prefix` and `wt_prefix` relative to the GIT_DIR of the
calling superproject is unfortunate with this patch as the C code doesn't
know about a possible recursion from a superproject via `submodule update
--init --recursive`.

To fix this, we change the meaning of `wt_prefix` to point to the current
project instead of the superproject and `prefix` to include any relative
paths issues in the superproject. That way `prefix` will become the leading
part for displaying paths and `wt_prefix` will be empty in recursive
calls for now.

The new notion of `wt_prefix` and `prefix` still allows us to reconstruct
the calling directory in the superproject by just traveling reverse of
`prefix`.

63e95beb08 submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C
Later on we want to automatically call `git submodule init` from
other commands, such that the users don't have to initialize the
submodule themselves.  As these other commands are written in C
already, we'd need the init functionality in C, too.  The
`resolve_relative_url` function is a large part of that init
functionality, so start by porting this function to C.

To create the tests in t0060, the function `resolve_relative_url`
was temporarily enhanced to write all inputs and output to disk
when running the test suite. The added tests in this patch are
a small selection thereof.

The path code in question:
  displaypath=$(relative_path "$prefix$sm_path")
  prefix=$displaypath
  if recursive:
    eval cmd_status

That way we change `prefix` each iteration to contain another
'../', because of the the relative_path computation is done
on an already computed relative path.

We must call relative_path exactly once with `wt_prefix` non empty.
Further calls in recursive instances to to calculate the displaypath
already incorporate the correct prefix from before. Fix the issue by
clearing `wt_prefix` in recursive calls.

c1ab00fb26 submodule update --init: correct path handling in recursive submodules
When calling `git submodule init` from a recursive instance of
`git submodule update --recursive`, the reported path is wrong as it
skips the nested submodules.

The new test demonstrates a failure in the code prior to this patch.
Instead of getting the expected
    Submodule 'submodule' (${pwd}/submodule) registered for path '../super/submodule'
the `super` directory is omitted and you get
    Submodule 'submodule' (${pwd}/submodule) registered for path '../submodule'
instead.

ea2fa1040d submodule foreach: correct path display in recursive submodules
The `prefix` was put in front of the display path unconditionally.
This is wrong as any relative path computation would need to be at
the front, so include the prefix into the display path.

The new test replicates the previous test with the difference of executing
from a sub directory. By executing from a sub directory all we would
expect all displayed paths to be prefixed by '../'.

Prior to this patch the test would report
    Entering 'nested1/nested2/../nested3'
instead of the expected
    Entering '../nested1/nested2/nested3'

14111fc492 git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line
Due to the way that the git-submodule code works, it clears all local
git environment variables before entering submodules. This is normally
a good thing since we want to clear settings such as GIT_WORKTREE and
other variables which would affect the operation of submodule commands.
However, GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS is special, and we actually do want to
preserve these settings. However, we do not want to preserve all
configuration as many things should be left specific to the parent
project.

Add a git submodule--helper function, sanitize-config, which shall be
used to sanitize GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, removing all key/value pairs
except a small subset that are known to be safe and necessary.

Replace all the calls to clear_local_git_env with a wrapped function
that filters GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS using the new helper and then
restores it to the filtered subset after clearing the rest of the
environment.

fb43e31f2b submodule: try harder to fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1
When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a
common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch
locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git
submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as
the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the
project history, but also just a proposed change.

If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1
directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1,
which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as
the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout
stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.

33cfccbbf3 submodule: allow only certain protocols for submodule fetches
Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary
code found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come
from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
repository). Let's restrict submodules to fetching from a
known-good subset of protocols.

Note that we apply this restriction to all submodule
commands, whether the URL comes from .gitmodules or not.
This is more restrictive than we need to be; for example, in
the tests we run:

  git submodule add ext::...

which should be trusted, as the URL comes directly from the
command line provided by the user. But doing it this way is
simpler, and makes it much less likely that we would miss a
case. And since such protocols should be an exception
(especially because nobody who clones from them will be able
to update the submodules!), it's not likely to inconvenience
anyone in practice.

74703a1e4d submodule: rewrite module_list shell function in C
Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules.
Calculating and using this set is usually done via:

       module_list "$@" | {
           while read mode sha1 stage sm_path
           do
                # the actual operation
           done
       }

Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the
git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script.
The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be
easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C.

git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate
to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the
subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from
within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated
to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative
to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh.
That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative
path which to anchor relative path arguments.

Commit 322bb6e12f (add update 'none' flag to disable update of submodule
by default) added the '--checkout' option to "git submodule update" but
forgot to explicitly document it in synopsis, usage string and man page
(It is only mentioned implicitly in the man page). In 23d25e48 (submodule:
explicit local branch creation in module_clone) the synopsis of the man
page was updated, but the "OPTIONS" section of the man page and the usage
string of the git-submodule script still do not mention the '--checkout'
option.

Fix that by documenting this option in usage string and the "OPTIONS"
section of man page too. While at it group the update-mode options into
a single set in the usage string.

23d25e48f5 submodule: explicit local branch creation in module_clone
The previous code only checked out branches in cmd_add.  This commit
moves the branch-checkout logic into module_clone, where it can be
shared by cmd_add and cmd_update.  I also update the initial checkout
command to use 'reset' to preserve branches setup during module_clone.

With this change, folks cloning submodules for the first time via:

  $ git submodule update ...

will get a local branch instead of a detached HEAD, unless they are
using the default checkout-mode updates.  This is a change from the
previous situation where cmd_update always used checkout-mode logic
(regardless of the requested update mode) for updates that triggered
an initial clone, which always resulted in a detached HEAD.

This commit does not change the logic for updates after the initial
clone, which will continue to create detached HEADs for checkout-mode
updates, and integrate remote work with the local HEAD (detached or
not) in other modes.

The motivation for the change is that developers doing local work
inside the submodule are likely to select a non-checkout-mode for
updates so their local work is integrated with upstream work.
Developers who are not doing local submodule work stick with
checkout-mode updates so any apparently local work is blown away
during updates.  For example, if upstream rolls back the remote branch
or gitlinked commit to an earlier version, the checkout-mode developer
wants their old submodule checkout to be rolled back as well, instead
of getting a no-op merge/rebase with the rolled-back reference.

By using the update mode to distinguish submodule developers from
black-box submodule consumers, we can setup local branches for the
developers who will want local branches, and stick with detached HEADs
for the developers that don't care.

Testing
=======

In t7406, just-cloned checkouts now update to the gitlinked hash with
'reset', to preserve the local branch for situations where we're not
on a detached HEAD.

I also added explicit tests to t7406 for HEAD attachement after
cloning updates, showing that it depends on their update mode:

* Checkout-mode updates get detached HEADs
* Everyone else gets a local branch, matching the configured
  submodule.<name>.branch and defaulting to master.

The 'initial-setup' tag makes it easy to reset the superproject to a
known state, as several earlier tests commit to submodules and commit
the changed gitlinks to the superproject, but don't push the new
submodule commits to the upstream subprojects.  This makes it
impossible to checkout the current super master, because it references
submodule commits that don't exist in the upstream subprojects.  For a
specific example, see the tests that currently generate the
'two_new_submodule_commits' commits.

Documentation
=============

I updated the docs to describe the 'submodule update' modes in detail.
The old documentation did not distinguish between cloning and
non-cloning updates and lacked clarity on which operations would lead
to detached HEADs, and which would not.  The new documentation
addresses these issues while updating the docs to reflect the changes
introduced by this commit's explicit local branch creation in
module_clone.

I also add '--checkout' to the usage summary and group the update-mode
options into a single set.

efa8fd7ee8 git-submodule.sh: 'checkout' is a valid update mode
'checkout' is documented as one of the valid values for the
'submodule.<name>.update' variable, and in a repository with the
variable set to 'checkout', "git submodule update" command does
update using the 'checkout' mode.

However, it has been an accident that the implementation works this
way; any unknown value would trigger the same codepath and update
using the 'checkout' mode.

Explicitly list 'checkout' as one of the known update modes, and
error out when an unknown update mode is used.

Teach the codepath that initializes the configuration variable from
an in-tree .gitmodules that 'checkout' is one of the valid values.
The code since ac1fbbda (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode
from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02) used to treat the value 'checkout' as
unknown and mapped it to 'none', which made little sense.  With this
change, 'checkout' specified in .gitmodules will stay to be 'checkout'.

b2a0afd96a Merge branch 'ak/submodule-foreach-quoting'
A behavior change, but a worthwhile one: "git submodule foreach"
was treating its arguments as part of a single command to be
concatenated and passed to a shell, making writing buggy
scripts too easy.

This patch preserves the old "just pass it to the shell" behavior
when a single argument is passed to 'git submodule foreach' and
moves to a new "skip the shell and use the arguments passed
unmolested" behavior when more than one argument is passed.

The old behavior (always concatenating and passing to the shell)
was similar to the 'ssh' command, while the new behavior (switching
on the number of arguments) is what 'xterm -e' does.

May need more thought to make sure this change is advertised well
so that scripts that used multiple arguments but added their own
extra layer of quoting are not broken.

ac1fbbda20 submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules
When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in
the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config,
unless there already is a value defined for the submodule.

However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by
the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using,
and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on
Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows.  It is simply
irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it
during a later "submodule update" without validating it first.

Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the
value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones
that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

361412828a submodule update: remove unnecessary orig_flags variable
cmd_update() in the submodule script tries to preserve the options given
on the command line in the "orig_flags" variable to pass them on into the
recursion when the '--recursive' option is given. But this isn't necessary
because all the variables set by the options will be seen in the recursion
too as that is achieved by executing "eval cmd_update".

The same has already been done for cmd_status() in e15bec0ec, so let's
clean up cmd_update() likewise. Also add a test to make sure that a
submodule name given on the command line is not passed into the recursion
(which was the goal of adding the orig_flags variable in 98dbe63db).

fcb06a8d54 use @@PERL@@ in built scripts
Several of the built shell commands invoke a bare "perl" to
perform some one-liners. This will use the first perl in the
PATH rather than the one specified by the user's SHELL_PATH.
We are not asking these perl invocations to do anything
exotic, so typically any old system perl will do; however,
in some cases the system perl may have unexpected behavior
(e.g., by handling line endings differently). We should err
on the side of using the perl the user pointed us to.

The downside of this is that on systems with a sane perl
setup, we no longer find the perl at runtime, but instead
point to a static perl (like /usr/bin/perl). That means we
will not handle somebody moving perl without rebuilding git,
whereas before we tracked it just fine. This is probably not
a big deal, though, as the built perl scripts already
suffered from this.

1c4fb136db submodule foreach: skip eval for more than one argument
'eval "$@"' creates an extra layer of shell interpretation, which is
probably not expected by a user who passes multiple arguments to git
submodule foreach:

 $ git grep "'"
 [searches for single quotes]
 $ git submodule foreach git grep "'"
 Entering '[submodule]'
 /usr/lib/git-core/git-submodule: 1: eval: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
 Stopping at '[submodule]'; script returned non-zero status.

To fix this, if the user passes more than one argument, execute "$@"
directly instead of passing it to eval.

Examples:

 * Typical usage when adding an extra level of quoting is to pass a
   single argument representing the entire command to be passed to the
   shell.  This doesn't change that.

 * One can imagine someone feeding untrusted input as an argument:

 	git submodule foreach git grep "$variable"

   That currently results in a nonobvious shell code injection
   vulnerability.  Executing the command named by the arguments
   directly, as in this patch, fixes it.

927b26f87a submodule: don't print status output with ignore=all
git status prints information for submodules, but it should ignore the status of
those which have submodule.<name>.ignore set to all.  Fix it so that it does
properly ignore those which have that setting either in .git/config or in
.gitmodules.

Not ignored are submodules that are added, deleted, or moved (which is
essentially a combination of the first two) because it is not easily possible to
determine the old path once a move has occurred, nor is it easily possible to
detect which adds and deletions are moves and which are not.  This also
preserves the previous behavior of always listing modules which are to be
deleted.

Tests are included which verify that this change has no effect on git submodule
summary without the --for-status option.

The output of "git submodule deinit sub" of a populated submodule prints

The "rm 'sub'" line is exactly the same output the user gets when using
"git rm sub" (because that command is used with the --dry-run option under
the hood to determine if the submodule is clean), which can easily lead to
the false impression that the submodule would be permanently removed. Also
users might be confused that the "rm 'submodule'" line won't show up when
the -f option is used, as the test is skipped in this case.

Silence the "rm 'submodule'" output by using the --quiet option for "git
rm" and always print

  Cleared directory 'submodule'

instead as the first output line. This line is printed as long as the
directory exists, no matter if empty or not.

Also extend the tests in t7400 to make sure the "Cleared directory" line
is printed correctly.

cf41982806 submodule: add 'deinit' command
With "git submodule init" the user is able to tell git he cares about one
or more submodules and wants to have it populated on the next call to "git
submodule update". But currently there is no easy way he could tell git he
does not care about a submodule anymore and wants to get rid of his local
work tree (except he knows a lot about submodule internals and removes the
"submodule.$name.url" setting from .git/config together with the work tree
himself).

Help those users by providing a 'deinit' command. This removes the
whole submodule.<name> section from .git/config (either for the given
submodule(s) or for all those which have been initialized if '.' is used)
together with their work tree. Fail if the current work tree contains
modifications (unless forced), but don't complain when either the work
tree is already removed or no settings are found in .git/config.

Add tests and link the man pages of "git submodule deinit" and "git rm"
to assist the user in deciding whether removing or unregistering the
submodule is the right thing to do for him. Also add the deinit subcommand
to the completion list.

inner-most module was printed. Now the path is printed relative to
the directory the command was started from. This now matches the
behavior of submodule foreach.

eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are
from Ralf.]

b928922727 submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in .gitmodules
This allows you to easily record a submodule.<name>.branch option in
.gitmodules when you add a new submodule.  With this patch,

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]
  $ git config -f .gitmodules submodule.<path>.branch <branch>

reduces to

  $ git submodule add -b <branch> <repository> [<path>]

This means that future calls to

  $ git submodule update --remote ...

will get updates from the same branch that you used to initialize the
submodule, which is usually what you want.

06b1abb5bd submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes
The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1).  Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1.  This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.

However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject.  Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:

  $ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates.  When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch.  If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`.  You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).

Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================

Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option.  The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in

  commit f030c96d86
  Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
  Date:   Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000

    git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable

Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.

Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same.  The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls.  The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`.  Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.

Implementation details
======================

In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1.  However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:

  if test -z "$nofetch"
  then
    # Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
    # is not reachable from a ref.
    (clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
      ( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
       test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
    die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
  fi

There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository.  If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

e15bec0ec3 submodule status: remove unused orig_* variables
When renaming orig_args to orig_flags in 98dbe63d (submodule: only
preserve flags across recursive status/update invocations) the call site
of the recursive cmd_status was forgotten. At that place orig_args is
still passed into the recursion, which is always empty since then. This
did not break anything because the orig_flags logic is not needed at all
when a function from the submodule script is called with eval, as that
inherits all the variables set by the option parsing done in the first
level of the recursion.

Now that we know that orig_flags and orig_args aren't needed at all,
let's just remove them from cmd_status().

4b7c286ec7 submodule add: Fail when .git/modules/<name> already exists unless forced
When adding a new submodule it can happen that .git/modules/<name> already
contains a submodule repo, e.g. when a submodule is removed from the work
tree and another submodule is added at the same path. But then the work
tree of the submodule will be populated using the existing repository and
not the one the user provided, which results in an incorrect work tree. On
the other hand the user might reactivate a submodule removed earlier, then
reusing that .git directory is the Right Thing to do.

As git can't decide what is the case, error out and tell the user she
should use either use a different name for the submodule with the "--name"
option or can reuse the .git directory for the newly added submodule by
providing the --force option (which only makes sense when the upstream
matches, so the error message lists all remotes of .git/modules/<name>).

In one test in t7406 the --force option had to be added to "git submodule
add", as that test re-adds a formerly removed submodule.

73b0898d0d Teach "git submodule add" the --name option
"git submodule add" initializes the name of a submodule to its path. This
was ok as long as the .git directory lived inside the submodule's work
tree, but since 1.7.8 it is stored in the .git/modules/<name> directory of
the superproject, making the submodule name survive the removal of the
submodule's work tree. This leads to problems when the user tries to add a
different submodule at the same path - and thus the same name - later, as
that will happily try to restore the submodule from the old repository
instead of the one the user specified and will lead to a checkout of the
wrong repository.

Add the new "--name" option to let the user provide a name for the
submodule. This enables the user to solve this conflict without having to
remove .git/modules/<name> by hand (which is no viable solution as it
makes it impossible to checkout a commit that records the old submodule
and populate it, as that will still check out the new submodule for the
same reason).

To achieve that the submodule's name is added to the parameter list of
the module_clone() helper function. This makes it possible to remove the
call of module_name() there because both callers of module_clone() already
know the name and can provide it as argument number two.

af9c9f9713 submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a
unspecified action word for 'status' action.  This is a UI mistake
that leads to a confusing behaviour.  A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.

    $ git submodule show
    error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
    Did you forget to 'git add'?

Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand.  "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.

Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than
promoting laziness and confusion.

be9d0a3a4c Let submodule command exit with error status if path does not exist
Various subcommands of the "git submodule" command exited with 0
status even though the path given by the user did not exist.

The reason behind that was that they all pipe the output of
module_list into the while loop which then does the action on the
paths specified by the commandline. Since the exit code of the
command on the upstream side of the pipe is ignored by the shell,
the status code of "ls-files --error-unmatch" nor "module_list" was
not propagated.

In case ls-files returns with an error code, we write a special
string that is not possible in non error situations, and no other
output, so that the downstream can detect the error and die with an
error code.

The error message that there is an unmatched pathspec comes through
stderr directly from ls-files. So the user still gets a hint whats going
on.
