Subject: [PATCH 1/2] commit: add --ignore-submodules[=<when>] parameter

From: Ronald Weiss <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2014 23:50:49 +0100

Git commit honors the 'ignore' setting from .gitmodules or .git/config,
but didn't allow to override it from command line, like other commands do.

Useful <when> values for commit are 'all' (default) or 'none'. The others
('dirty' and 'untracked') have same effect as 'none', as commit is only
interested in whether the submodule's HEAD differs from what is commited
in the superproject.

Changes in add.c and cache.h (and related compilo fix in checkout.c) are
needed to make it work for "commit -a" too.
