Thanks again for writing and explaining it.  Here's an updated
version, basically identical (just rebased).  "git range-diff" shows
mostly context lines affected, so this really is a minor update.

I suspect the *next* time this hits the list will be more interesting,
since we can start making use of the repository API.

Thoughts of all kinds welcome, as always.

Internally we have rolled out this as an experiment for
"submodules replacing the repo tool[1]". The repo tool is described as:

    Repo unifies Git repositories when necessary, performs uploads to the
    Gerrit revision control system, and automates parts of the Android
    development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make
    it easier to work with Git in the context of Android. The repo command
    is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

    In working with the Android source files, you use Repo for
    across-network operations. For example, with a single Repo command you
    can download files from multiple repositories into your local working
    directory.

    In most situations, you can use Git instead of Repo, or mix Repo and
    Git commands to form complex commands.

[1] https://source.android.com/setup/develop/

Submodules can also be understood as unifying Git repositories, even more,
in the superproject the submodules have relationships between their
versions, which the repo tool only provides in releases.

The repo tool does not provide these relationships between versions, but
all the repositories (in case of Android think of ~1000 git repositories)
are put in their place without depending on each other.

This comes with a couple of advantages and disadvantages:

* Many users are familiar with Git, but not submodules. Each repository
  can be used independently with Git and there is no need to update the
  superproject or the repo manifest for a change in a repository.
* It is easy to work with repositories with no version-control-dependencies
  if there are dependencies in the code. In case of Android the
  repositories are bound at natural boundaries. For example the linux
  kernel is one repository, as then upstream work is made easy for this
  repository. So it is desirable to keep an easy-as-repo workflow.
* Fetching changes ("repo sync") needs to fetch all repositories, as there
  is no central place that tracks what has changed. In a superproject
  git fetch can determine which submodules need fetching.  In Androids
  case the daily change is only in a few repositories (think 10s), so
  migrating to a superproject would save an order of magnitude in fetch
  traffic for daily updates of developers.
* Sometimes when the dependencies are not on a clear repository boundary
  one would like to have git-bisect available across the different
  repositories, which repo cannot provide due to its design.

Internally we have the Gerrit as a central point, where the source of
truth is found for a given repository.

This patch adds a new mode to submodule handling, where the superproject
controls the existence of the submodule (just as current submodule
handling), but the submodule HEAD is not detached, but following the same
branch name as the superproject.

Current situation visualized:

  superproject
  HEAD -> "<branch name>" -> OID
                              |
  submodule                   v
  HEAD --------------------> OID

The OID in the submodule is controlled via the HEAD in the submodule that
is set accordingly to the gitlink in the superproject. Confusion can arise
when the (detached) HEAD in the submodule doesn't match the superprojects
gitlink.

This patch visualized:

  superproject
  HEAD -> "<branch name>" -> OID
                 |
  submodule      v
  HEAD -> "<branch name>" -> OID

As there is a central point of truth in our setup (our Gerrit installation)
which keeps the superproject and the submodule branches in sync, this
ought to look the same for the user; removing the "detached HEAD" in the
submodule. git-status will still notice if there is an OID mismatch between
the gitlink and the submodules branch, but that is a race condition and
should be caught by Gerrit.

This changes the following commands in the superproject:

  checkout -B/-b create branches in subs, too
  checkout (-f): update branch in submodule (create if needed) and check
                 it out; Pass the argument down literally if it is a branch
                 name (e.g. "checkout -f master" will run a
                            "checkout -f master" in the submodule as well)
  clone: see checkout
  reset --hard: see checkout
