[PATCH v5 0/4] submodule: Local branch creation in module_clone

Changes since v4:

In git-submodule.sh:

* Explicitly set an empty $local_branch in cmd_add if $branch is empty
  [1].
* Restore die-early checking for invalid $update_module [2].  This
  check is now outside the load-from-config branch, ensuring we have a
  valid update_module, regardless of how it was set.

In Documentation/git-submodule.txt:

* Fix “but be” → “but can be” [3].
* Fix “checkout” → “--checkout” [4].
* New text on why you'd use --remote [5] (new commit #4).

In Documentation/git-submodule.txt and Documentation/gitmodules.txt:

* Use backticks (instead of single quotes) for command line options
  [6].

I also squashed the implementation, testing fixes, new tests, and documentation for the new local_branch stuff (v4's #3, #4, #5, and #6) into a single commit (v5's #3) [7].
