There are only four (with some generous rounding) instances in the current source code where we speak of "subproject" instead of "submodule". They are as follows: * one error message in git-apply and two in entry.c * the patch format for submodule changes The latter was introduced in 0478675 (Expose subprojects as special files to "git diff" machinery, 2007-04-15), apparently before the terminology was settled. We can of course not change the patch format. Let's at least change the error messages to consistently call them "submodule".
