This patch makes the output of git-submodule more useful to handle the
management of a repository using multiple submodules. Namely, it
displays informations about how the current checked out version relates
to the registered one (i.e. direct parent, direct child, "just
different", registered revision does not exist), and displays if the
submodules contain uncommitted changes.
This (among other things) allows to do git-submodule update while
knowing exactly what will happen.

Subject: [PATCH] more information in git-submodule status output
This commit adds more information in the 'status' output of
git-submodule. More specifically, it displays different flags if the
submodule and the registered revision are direct parents (> and <,
depending on which is the ancestor), if they are not direct parents (+)
or if the registered revision cannot be found (i.e. if submodule update
would fail, '!')
Finally, it shows if the submodule contains uncommitted changes (M flag)
