Re: [PATCH] unpack-trees.c: assume submodules are clean during check-out

As we explicitly allow
submodule checkout to drift from the supermodule index entry,
the check should say "Ok, for submodules, not matching is the
norm" for now.  Later when we have the ability to mark "I care
about this submodule to be always in sync with the superproject"
(thereby implementing automatic recursive checkout and perhaps
diff, among other things), we should check if the submodule in
question is marked as such and perform the current test.

Yes, this sounds like a sane plan (and a good explanation of the
current semantics: maybe something to include in the release notes for
1.5.3?)

Btw: I've applied your patch to rc-4 and tested the result in my cgit
repo: very nice, and very ack'd ;-)
