[PATCHv7 0/8] Expose submodule parallelism to the user

This is a resend of sb/submodule-parallel-update as is (directly taken from Junios tree), and I put it on the list to ease the life of reviewers.

It applies on top of origin/sb/submodule-parallel-fetch (which is part of master already)

I have looked over the patches and they still look fine to me. They had some early reviews end of last year, however not enough review yet to make them proceed.

Any review is welcome! Thanks, Stefan

Stefan Beller (8):
  submodule-config: keep update strategy around
  submodule-config: drop check against NULL
  submodule-config: remove name_and_item_from_var
  submodule-config: introduce parse_generic_submodule_config
  fetching submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option
  git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning
  submodule update: expose parallelism to the user
  clone: allow an explicit argument for parallel submodule clones
