This series contains 2 RFC patches that both implement a grep feature for submodules. The first patch is a self-contained script for contrib that should work with most current git versions. The 2nd is basically the same implementation but done as a proper git submodule command with some of the helper code moved to git-sh-setup.sh
There are a couple of questions for this. Technically I'm making submodule grep-aware, should I be making grep submodule-aware instead? I haven't looked at the grep code yet but I imagine its harder.
Should I be putting the submodule_root* routines in git-sh-setup or should I be looking at adding it to 'git rev parse' instead. I'm guessing eventually more commands might want to be able to get at the base superproject.

contrib: add git-submodule-grep.sh
submodule: add grep command
