[PATCH v8 0/3] submodule update: add --remote for submodule's upstream changes

From: "W. Trevor King" <wking@tremily.us>

Comments on v7 seem to have petered out, so here's v8. Changes since v7:

* Series based on gitster/master instead of v1.8.0.
* In Documentation/config.txt, restored trailing line of
  submodule.<name>.update documentation, which I had accidentally
  removed in v7.
* In Documentation/git-submodule.txt, make --no-fetch example in the
  --remote description more general, following Phil's suggestion.
* In git-submodule.sh:
  * Remove accidental "ges" line.
  * Use the submodule's default remote to determine which tracking
    branch to fetch.  In v7 I'd been using the superproject's default
    remote.
  * In cmd_add(), use sm_name instead of sm_path to store the --branch
    option (catching up with 73b0898).
