Right. Where coding style is concerned, I prefer to go by what I find in
Git's source code, if only to avoid disrupting readers unnecessarily.

However, when it comes to English grammar and customs, I am fully aware
that many contributors aren't native speakers. Myself included. Therefore,
I trust spell checkers more than our source code on those matters (except
when it comes to those Git-isms like "submodule", "reftable", or
"superproject").

If you feel strongly, please feel free to drop everything except the
"submoudle" -> "submodule" fix.

Ciao,
Dscho
