I suspect that we will end up needing to support both styles. The
latter style is easier when you want to express a larger set as a
collection of groups, e.g.
[submodule "gcc"]
group = development-tools
[submodule "emacs"]
group = editors
[submodule "frotz"]
group = games
[submoduleGroup "default"]
member = *development-tools
member = *editors
member = :frotz
member = !*xyzzy
might be a way to say "the default group includes everything in the
'development-tools' or 'editors' group, plus 'frotz' module, but do
not include modules in the xyzzy group" or something like that.
