Subject: [PATCH] submodule: add verbose mode for add/update

From: Orgad Shaneh <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:03:45 +0200

Add the verbose flag to add and update which displays the
progress of the actual submodule checkout when given. This
is useful for checkouts that take a long time, as the user
can then see the progress.
