Do I need to cd into each submodule dir and fetch/rebase? git submodule update doesn't seem to do anything, though I would assume it's used to update the submodules...

"git submodule update" updates each submodule to the version that was checked into the supermodule. It doesn't do anything like fetch, rebase, or pull.

Okay. So I've got a parent repo with three submodules. I've been working in one submodule and have been committing changes. Now I wanted to get the latest changes upstream...I have to rebase that repo individually, right?

Yes. Be careful of which branch your submodule is on; if "git submodule update" has done anything in the past, you might not be on a branch at all, in which case you have to create a local branch with your changes before you can safely rebase or push.
