Subject: [PATCH] git-submodule.sh: shorten submodule SHA-1s using rev-parse

Until now, `git submodule summary` was always emitting 7-character
SHA-1s that have a higher chance of being ambiguous for larger
repositories.  Use `git rev-parse --short` instead, which will
determine suitable short SHA-1 lengths.

When a submodule hasn't been initialized with "submodule init" or
not cloned, `git rev-parse` would not work in it yet; as a fallback,
use the original method of cutting at 7 hexdigits.
