These fields should be split into at least two classes, the ones
that are primarily the "configuration", and the others that are
"states". I am guessing 'quiet' is what the caller prepares and
tells the pp callbacks that they must work with reduced verbosity,
and 'print_unmatched' is also in the same boat. From the above
structure definition, nobody can guess what 'count' represents. Is
that the number of modules you have in the top-level superproject?
Is that the number of modules updated so far? Some other number?
We can guess "list" is probably the list of modules to be cloned or
updated, but we have no idea what "projectlines" mean and what it
will be used for. The only word with 'project' we would use in the
context of discussing submodules is the "top level superproject",
but then that will not need a "list", so that is not it. Perhaps
this refers to a list of projects bound to our tree as submodules,
and perhaps each such submodule gives some kind of "lines", but it
is totally unclear what kind of lines they use.

The pattern makes readers wish if there were a way to make these
pair of pushes easier to read. The best I can come up with is
argv_array_pushl(&cp->args, "--path", path, NULL);
While that would be already a vast improvement, when we know there
are many "I want to push two", it makes me wonder if I am entitled
to find the repeated ", NULL" irritating.
argv_array_push2(&cp->args, "--path", path);
on the hand feels slightly too specific. I dunno.

This feels a bit inconsistent. When the pp->count'th submodule is
set not to update (i.e. "none" below), you let this loop to ignore
that submodule and continue on to process pp->count+1'th one without
returning to the caller. Is there a reason why this case should be
processed differently? If the rest of the code treats this
condition as a "grave error" that tells the caller to never call
get-next again (i.e. the "emergency abort" condition), that sort of
makes sense, but I cannot offhand see if that is being done in this
patch.

I doubt the value of the last sentence, especially the "useless"
part.
Either "We do not want to read .gitmodules and that is why we do not
use submodule config API, period" (which does not make it "useless",
it is just not meant to be used here at all), or "We do not want to
read .gitmodules in this codepath, and submodule config API cannot
be used here before we teach it an option to only check the config
without falling back" (which does not make it "useless", it is just
that you haven't made it ready to be used here yet).

That name was misleading and had me scratch my head for a while.
This module is in the "needs cloning" state, and you haven't even
started cloning it yet.

That's it for today. I'll take a look at the remainder another day.
Thanks.
