As an example to make this clearer:
$ cat .gitmodules
[submodule "sub1"]
path = sub1
url = git://example.com/sub1.git
remote = remote1
branch = branch1
update-source = submodule-upstream
update = rebase
[submodule "sub2"]
...
Means that `git submodule update sub1` will fetch remote1 and rebase
the current sub1 checkout against the tip of remote1/branch1. The
git://example.com/sub1.git URL is not actually used during this
update. Presumably the user setup remote1 intentionally in the
submodule, and wants to use the URL they've configured there.
Perhaps I need to ammend my
submodule update: add submodule.<name>.remote config option
patch (#4) to adjust the remote that has it's URL changed by `sync`?
I may also want to append some form of the following commit (from my
submodule.<name>.active proposal):
submodule add: configure existing submodule url if not set [1]
Cheers,
Trevor
