To make a submodule effectively usable, the path and
a URL where the submodule can be cloned need to be stored
in .gitmodules. This subcommand takes care of setting
this information after cloning the new submodule.
Only the index is updated, so, if needed, the user may still
change the URL or switch to a different branch of the submodule
before committing.

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

Display the SHA-1 stored in the index, not the SHA-1 of the currently
checked out submodule commit. This option is only valid for the
