Sounds like a good solution.  I do think what Stefan said about
"reset --hard --recurse-submodules" makes tons of sense, and we
should do a hard reset in submodules as long as they are marked
as active, regardless of what the .update option says.  I have
not thought deeply enough about other operations like "pull" in
his message to be able to comment, though.

Thanks.
