git-apply: apply submodule changes
Apply "Subproject commit HEX" changes produced by git-diff.
As usual in the current git, only the superproject itself is actually
modified (possibly creating empty directories for new submodules).
Any checked-out submodule is left untouched and is not required to
be up-to-date.
With clean-ups from Junio C Hamano.
