submodule--helper: accept '-i' shorthand for update --init
commit 3ad0ba722744 ("git-submodule.sh: improve variables readability") made `git submodules update -i` pass `-i` as is to submodule--helper, but it fails with `error: unknown switch `i'` because the helper does not accept the short option. All other short options supported by git-submodule.sh are properly handle in the helper, so also add the alias for --init Fixes: 3ad0ba722744 ("git-submodule.sh: improve variables readability") Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@atmark-techno.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
