'--remote' is what you are looking for.

When we have the branch field configured, the workflow for *creating*
the patch sent
to Junio might be different than it currently is. Currently, you would
send a patch that is
produced as:

  git -C sha1collisiondetection pull origin master
  git add sha1collisiondetection
  git commit -m "serious reasoning in the commit message"

This could be 'simplified' to

  git submodule update --remote
  git add sha1collisiondetection
  git commit -m "serious reasoning in the commit message"

but as we had different branches in the submodule field,
I wonder how much of an ease this is.

For Junio the workflow stays the same, as he would just
apply the patch, so I understand why he might see the
branch field as pollution.
