Hi Junio,

This state is broken (wrong URLs in .git/config), and AFAIK there's

I do not think updating the config is "hacking", but is a perfectly
normal thing to do for a submodule user who wants to use a custom
URL different from what is recorded in .gitmodules (even when the
URL in .gitmodules is _working_, you may have a closer mirror you
would prefer to use, for example). It is how the configuration is
designed to be used, if I am not mistaken.
It may be possible, but there's no easy command to do it, especially in
automated (fabric) deployment scripts. I do not want to write an awk/sed
script to remove all the submodules from .git/config so that I can
successfully run git submodule init again. What other choices do I have?
So I do not see any breakage here.
I do, it seems bizarre that git submodule init can create this situation
but cannot rectify it.
Cheers, Chris.
