To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle
branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching `git branch` the
--recurse-submodules option so that `git branch --recurse-submodules
topic` will create the "topic" branch in the superproject and its
submodules.
Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it is
incompatible with existing --recurse-submodules semantics e.g. `git
checkout` does not recursively checkout the expected branches created by
`git branch` yet. To ensure that the correct set of semantics is used,
this commit introduces a new configuration value,
`submodule.propagateBranches`, which enables submodule branching when
true (defaults to false).
This commit includes changes that allow Git to work with submodules
that are in trees (and not just the index):
* add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant
information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and
initializes the repository
* add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to
is_submodule_active()
* add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the
submodules in their trees
Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list'
usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been
incorrect since its inception, a8dfd5eac4 (Make builtin-branch.c use
parse_options., 2007-10-07).
