Re: [PATCH v2] ls-files: adding support for submodules

So here are two squashable patches, one is the "minimum" one, the other is a bit more invasive one to use "a pointer to an optional setting is set to NULL" convention. I am undecided, and I'll stay to be without further comments from others, on the latter one.

I understand that many internal changes in your work environment are titled like "DOing X", but our convention around here is to label them "DO X", as if you are giving an order to somebody else, either telling the codebase "to be like so", or telling the patch-monkey maintainer "to make it so". So I'd retitle it

	ls-files: optionally recurse into submodules

or something like that. It is an added advantage of being a lot more descriptive than "adding support", which does not say what kind of support it is adding.
