    git-submodule: wrap branch option with "<>" in usage strings.

In general, it is not a good idea to base your patches on things in
next, because it means your topic is held hostage to the one in next,
which may or may not graduate to master. We can always do a merge later
(and in this case, it is really just a one-line conflict).
