This changes git-submodule in a few ways:
a. Section names in .gitmodules are now called 'path', not 'module'.
b. Each 'path' section is required to have a 'submodule' key, used to
give the submodule a name.
c. During 'git-submodule init', the submodule name and url is found in
.gitmodules and stored in .git/config under the key 'submodule.$name.url'.
The 'init' command does not clone the submodule.
d. A new git-submodule command, 'clone', will map submodule path to submodule
name in .gitmodules and use the name to find a url for the submodule in
.git/config. This url is then used to clone the submodule before checking
out the commit named in the index of the containing repository.
The main reason for these changes is to make it easier to specify alternate
urls for a submodule without touching .gitmodules, i.e. like this:
$ git submodule init
$ git config submodule.foobar.url /pub/git/foobar.git
$ git submodule clone
It also might turn out to be nice to have submodules identified by a 'logical
name' instead of by path when a single path is used for different submodules
in different versions of a 'superproject', and if/when the submodules gets
cloned somewhere below .git of the containing repository.

status::
Show the status of the submodules. This will print the SHA-1 of the
currently checked out commit for each submodule, along with the
- submodule path and the output of gitlink:git-describe[1] for the
- SHA-1. Each SHA-1 will be prefixed with `-` if the submodule is not

does not match the SHA-1 found in the index of the containing
repository. This command is the default command for git-submodule.
init::
- Initialize the submodules, i.e. clone the git repositories specified
- in the .gitmodules file and checkout the submodule commits specified
- in the index of the containing repository. This will make the

FILES
-----
-When cloning submodules, a .gitmodules file in the top-level directory
-of the containing repository is used to find the url of each submodule.
-This file should be formatted in the same way as $GIR_DIR/config. The key
-to each submodule url is "module.$path.url".
+git-submodule uses a file named .gitmodules in the top-level directory of the
+containing repository. This file should be formatted in the same way as
+$GIR_DIR/config.
+
+The .gitmodules file is used to find the name and suggested url for each
+submodule path, using the keys `path.$path.submodule` and 'path.$path.url'.
+The submodule name and url is stored in $GIT_DIR/config by
+`git-submodule init`, using the key `submodule.$name.url`, and this key is
+then used during `git-submodule clone` to lookup the preferred submodule url.
