Re: [PATCH v4 31/33] submodule--helper: libify more "die" paths for module_update()

> As noted in a preceding commit the get_default_remote_submodule() and
> remote_submodule_branch() functions would invoke die(), and thus leave
> update_submodule() only partially lib-ified. Let's address the former
> of those cases.
>
> Change the functions to return an int exit code (non-zero on failure),
> while leaving the get_default_remote() function for the callers that
> still want the die() semantics.
