It would be a lot easier to read if you said this:

	if list_contains "$name" "$cloned_modules"
        then
		update_module=
	fi

or just open code the idiom:

	case ";list-of-stuff-with-delimiter;" in
        *";i-want-to-see-this;"*) : happy ;;
	esac

without introducing "list_contains" that is called only once.

But otherwise the patch looks good.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] submodule: no [--merge|--rebase] when newly cloned

Previously, when a new submodule is cloned by running "git submodule update
[--merge|--rebase]", the newly cloned submodule does not get checked out and a
rebase or merge is incorrectly attempted against an empty working directory.
This patch ignores --rebase or --merge for new submodules and instead simply
checks out the appropriate revision.
