That's what I'd like to see first.
.gitmodules(5) will hopefully not change in an incompatible
way after it is accepted, while there is no such constraint
for git-submodule.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have
[path '$path']
submodule=modulename
and
[submodule '$modulename']
url=/some/url
in case the same module appears in more than one path?
Yes, that would be a properly normalized model.
Hmm.... Maybe we could allow both variations, with your suggestion
overriding mine if both are present? (I think there would be many
cases where the extra level of [submodule...] wouldn't be needed.
Also, the url in .gitmodules will only function as the initially
suggested url stored in the 'superprojects' .git/config)
