submodule: Add --force option for git submodule update
By default git submodule update runs a simple checkout on submodules that
are not up-to-date. If the submodules contains modified or untracked
files, the command may exit sanely with an error:
$ git submodule update
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
checkout:
file
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting
Unable to checkout '1b69c6e55606b48d3284a3a9efe4b58bfb7e8c9e' in
submodule path 'test1'
In order to reset a whole git submodule tree, a user has to run first 'git
submodule foreach --recursive git checkout -f' and then run 'git submodule
update'.
This patch adds a --force option for the update command (only used for
submodules without --rebase or --merge options). It passes the --force
option to git checkout which will throw away the local changes.
