'--remote' is what you are looking for. When we have the branch field configured, the workflow for *creating* the patch sent to Junio might be different than it currently is. Currently, you would send a patch that is produced as: git -C sha1collisiondetection pull origin master git add sha1collisiondetection git commit -m "serious reasoning in the commit message" This could be 'simplified' to git submodule update --remote git add sha1collisiondetection git commit -m "serious reasoning in the commit message" but as we had different branches in the submodule field, I wonder how much of an ease this is. For Junio the workflow stays the same, as he would just apply the patch, so I understand why he might see the branch field as pollution.
