Here is my previous patch, split in two, so as not to hold back the introduction of "git submodule update --rebase": The first patch changes the associated config variable from "submodule.<name>.rebase" to "submodule.<name>.update", and the second patch introduces "git submodule update --merge".
AFAIK, nobody objects to the first patch, so that one should be safe to apply.
As for the second patch, Dscho has argued against it, although he has not yet responded to my last email from a week ago. Nobody (except me) has explicitly supported the patch, although both Avery and yourself has questioned Dscho's arguments.
Not sure what I can do to bring the discussion toward a conclusion...
...Johan
Johan Herland (2): Rename submodule.<name>.rebase to submodule.<name>.update git-submodule: add support for --merge.
