 Turn the default of "push.recurseSubmodules" to "check" when
 submodules seem to be in use.

 Need to rebase on hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix and then consider
 merging to 'next'.

The rebase is without merge conflicts, so I assume there is no
work needed by me here.

Correct.

 - SQUASH
 - submodule: add embed-git-dir function
 - test-lib-functions.sh: teach test_commit -C <dir>
 - submodule helper: support super prefix
 - submodule: use absolute path for computing relative path connecting

 A new submodule helper "git submodule embedgitdirs" to make it
 easier to move embedded .git/ directory for submodules in a
 superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former
 that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added.

 Need to read it over again, deal with SQUASH, and may ask for a
 reroll.

Ok, I looked over it again and I may see some issues:

OK then I'll procrastinate on this.

That slipped by me. Will review.

* sb/attr (2016-11-11) 35 commits
 - completion: clone can initialize specific submodules
 - clone: add --init-submodule=<pathspec> switch
 - submodule update: add `--init-default-path` switch

I may end up rerolling these top three patches as its own series
again without the underlying pathspec support.

I will investigate if we need the mutex at all for the attribute
code or if we can initialize all attrs (in the pathspecs) before the
threaded preload_index takes place. That sounds cleaner to me,
but I do not prioritize it as high.

OK.

Thanks.
