Right. But I'd also add that even though Git knows what's going
on, even if we reported /that/ it wouldn't be user friendly:
namely, because submodules are not updated automatically so the
first line would always be what the submodule was pointed to
before we started rebasing. That's not so useful either...

As I've said, I'm happy to contribute a patch, if we can agree
what the right resolution is...
Cheers,
Edward
