I had forgotten about "!command".  I think making it a string makes
the field hard to use: how do I determine whether it was checkout,
rebase, merge, custom, or none?  Are they case-sensitive?  Am I
supposed to strip whitespace?

One possibility would be to have an enum and a string:

	enum submodule_update_type update;
	const char *update_command;

Thanks,
Jonathan
