This option was not yet described in the gitmodules documentation. We
only described it in the 'git submodule' command documentation but
gitmodules is the more natural place to look.
The gitmodules documentation is only more natural if we tell (link) the
reader early in the submodule documentation. A link to gitmodules should
be provided in the third paragraph of Description where the .gitmodules
is introduced.
Currently the gitmodules link is the last thing mentioned (i.e. 8 PgDn's for me).
The gitmodules documentation page describes all the options you can use
there so its by definition more natural. Yes I can see that a link to
gitmodules page could be provided earlier but thats a completely
different topic independent from my previous patch. Instead of
complaining how about providing a patch next time?
My apologies, I was thinking I was avoiding a clash of patches on a common file, rather than seeing the independance you noted.
Thank you for the patch.
Anyway here we go...

Submodules are composed from a so-called `gitlink` tree entry
in the main repository that refers to a particular commit object
within the inner repository that is completely separate.
-A record in the `.gitmodules` file at the root of the source
-tree assigns a logical name to the submodule and describes
-the default URL the submodule shall be cloned from.

The logical name can be used for overriding this URL within your
local repository configuration (see 'submodule init').
