 You do not want to do ^0; you will not be bind a non-commit in gitlink
 entry anyway.

Actually, I need ^0. "git-rev-parse --verify sha1" will always
succeed if sha1 is an valid name with lenght 40 even if the sha1
doesn't belong to the repository.

But what I want to verify is that the sha1 is not just valid/unique
but also belongs to the submodule repository.

Don't you want "git cat-file -e <sha1>" then, unless you are checking
more than one sha1?
