[PATCH 1/3] fetch/pull: Recursively fetch populated submodules

[Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de>]

Until now you had to call "git submodule update" (without -N|--no-fetch
option) or something like "git submodule foreach git fetch" to fetch
new commits in populated submodules from their remote.

This could lead to "(commits not present)" messages in the output of
"git diff --submodule" (and in "git gui" and "gitk") after fetching
or pulling new commits in the superproject and is an obstacle for
implementing recursive checkout of submodules. Also "git submodule
update" cannot fetch changes when disconnected, so it was very easy to
forget to fetch the submodule changes before disconnecting only to
discover later that they are needed.

This patch recursively fetches each populated submodule from the url
configured in the .git/config of the submodule at the end of each
"git fetch" or during "git pull" in the superproject. The submodule
paths are taken from the index.

This new behavior can be disabled by using the new "--no-recursive"
option. Also the option "--submodule-prefix" is added to be able to
print out the full paths of nested submodules.

t7403 had to be changed to use the --no-recursive option for pull.
