Add an extra "submodule" field to struct child_process to be able to
easily start commands which are to be executed in a submodule
repository.

How about making it more generic by allowing to specify the directory
to change to and environment for subprocess? You probably will be able
to convert even some of existing code to your new run_command then
(merge_recursive in builtin-revert.c, for example).

Sounds useful and more generic.
