Remember: if you git-pull in the supermodule, you want to update the
whole thing, including all submodules.

Only if the new commits I pull into the supermodule DAG has commits 
which includes a new shapshot of the submodule, otherwise it wouldn't be 
necessary.

Of course.

But if the supermodule contains changes to the submodule, you still
have to change the submodule.  And this implies changing the submodule
HEAD or some branch.

Not really. I fail to see why HEAD needs to be changed so long as the 
commit is in the submodule's odb.
