Having to remember what subtree came from what source is a waste of
developer memory and doesn't transfer easily to other developers.
git subtree push/pull operations would typically be to/from the same
source that the original subtree was cloned from with git subtree add.
The <repository> and <refspec>, or <commit>, used in the git subtree add
operation are stored in .gitsubtree. One line each delimited by a space:
<prefix> <repository> <refspec> or <prefix> . <commit>.
Subsequent git subtree push/pull operations now default to the values
stored in .gitsubtree, unless overridden from the command line.
The .gitsubtree file should be tracked as part of the repo as it
describes where parts of the tree came from and can be used to update
to/from that source.
