[PATCH] submodule update: silence underlying fetch with "--quiet"

[PATCH] submodule update: silence underlying fetch with "--quiet"

[Nicholas Clark]

Commands such as

    $ git submodule update --quiet --init --depth=1

involving shallow clones, call the shell function fetch_in_submodule, which
in turn invokes git fetch.  Pass the --quiet option onward there.

I tried to adopt the same approach as the previous commit that fixed a
--quiet bug, 3ad0401e9e (submodule update: silence underlying merge/rebase
with "--quiet", 2020-09-30)

I believe that the bugfix is correct but I struggled to create a concise
regression test demonstrates the bug and the bug fix.

That commit is not the only fix of a --quiet bug, so I'm wondering if there
are others still to find. I looked in git-submodule.sh and see many
invocations of git commands in git-submodule.sh, most of which don't pass
${GIT_QUIET:+--quiet} onward, but I don't know git well enough to know which
might matter (ie might generate output), and it feels like cargo-cult to
add that code unthinkingly to every git command, so I didn't do this.
