I did see it on my debian unstable box with with dash as /bin/sh (though

3deea89 (submodule summary: Don't barf when invoked in an empty repo,
2010-02-16) looks broken.  It shifts $1 unconditionally when:

 - "git submodule summary", no arguments given and defaults to HEAD which
   is _not_ unborn (we shouldn't shift in this case);

 - "git submodule summary HEAD path...", which is not unborn (we should shift);

 - "git submodule summary path...", defaults to HEAD which is _not_ unborn
   (we shouldn't shift).

IOW, shouldn't the code look more like this?

	if test $# != 0 && head=$(git rev-parse -q --verify "$1")
	then
		shift
	else
		git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD >/dev/null || return 0
		head=HEAD
	fi

That is, if a specific version might be there, we see if it is a version
and shift it out only if that is the case.  Otherwise we default to HEAD
but special case for an unborn HEAD (and report success).
