[Bro-Dev] Git merge and submodules

It's because the two branches that were merged had differing submodule "pointers" and when the merge occurs it just changes the pointers, not the actual content of your local repositories submodules, thus `git status` has to report a change in the submodules.

Yeah, I haven't strained myself too hard thinking about this but I think maybe this is a good solution for anyone that encounters this after doing branch merges because after the merge, submodule pointers should always be set to the most recent version between the two merging branches.  i.e. it's not possible that the `git submodule update` actually checked out an older version of the submodules.

On the other hand, for someone that's directly making changes to submodules, this would probably not be the command they want to run when they see similar things from `git status`.
