The latter may probably be better. After cloning the superproject, you show interest in individual submodules by saying "git submodule init <that submodule>" and until then your .git/config in the superproject does not indicate that you are interested in that submodule, and you won't have a submodule checkout. "deinit" is a way to revert back to that original state; recording that you are no longer interested in the submodule is the primary effect, and removal of its checkout is a mere side effect of it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
