If there is no output from git status in the submodule, then git
status in the superproject shows the submodule as being clean.
However, if there is _any_ output from git status (untracked files,
modified files, deleted files, new files), then the superproject shows
the submodule as being dirty.

But isn't it a bug that a submodule is considered dirty just because an
untracked file appears?

My take while commenting on this series has been that we have been buggy
not to show submodule dirty when the end user may have files he forgot to
add, just like "git status" reminds them at the end.
