From f0807e62b42df51a079c730dcf4868de9ad44ea5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Subject: Teach "git-read-tree -u" to check out submodules as a directory

This actually allows us to check out a supermodule after cloning, although
the submodules themselves will obviously not be checked out, and will just
be empty directories.

Checking out the submodules will be up to higher levels - we may not even
want to!
