I was more thinking about something like this:
3fa7ded19a8da868d3af7c942f86358e6720f0c7 refs/heads/submodule^{URL:/home/sverdool/public_html/cloog.git}
But then, I haven't really thought about it deeply.
I think the whole point of the 'remote config' stuff is to get an
unversioned/out-of-tree .gitmodules file, right?
If so, one could put this file into the object db and refer to it with
something like 'refs/tags/subproject-config' or even
'refs/misc/subproject-config'. Both of these refs will be found by
ls-remote and point to the object containing the suggested subproject
configuration.
I actually do something similar with the release tarballs for cgit: try
git ls-remote git://hjemli.net/pub/git/cgit
to see the references to the tarballs which are displayed on the cgit
summary page.
But then again, I might have completely misunderstood the problem...
