[PATCH] rebase -i continue: Don't skip submodule only commits

When git-rebase--interactive stops due to a conflict and the only change to be committed is in a submodule, the test for whether there is anything to be committed ignores the staged submodule change. This leads rebase to skip creating the commit for the change.

While unstaged submodule changes should be ignored to avoid needing to update submodules during a rebase, it is safe to remove the --ignore-submodules option to diff-index because --cached ensures that it is only checking the index. This was discussed in [1] and a test is included to ensure that unstaged changes are still ignored correctly.
