The user-supplied command spawned by 'submodule foreach' loses its connection to the original standard input. Instead, it is connected to the output of a pipe within the git-submodule script. This can cause a problem if the command requires reading from stdin or if it changes its behavior based on whether stdin is a tty or not (e.g. git shortlog). Demonstrate this flaw.
