Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] submodule: improve submodule_has_commits

From: Brandon Williams <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 1 May 2017 18:02:38 -0700

Teach 'submodule_has_commits()' to ensure that if a commit exists in a
submodule, that it is also reachable from a ref.

This is a preparatory step prior to merging the logic which checks for
changed submodules when fetching or pushing.
