Aborted I think what you may be confused by is that this isn't allowed in the in-tree .gitmodules file, and indeed you can see another BUG() in determine_submodule_update_strategy() for a panic if we'd ever get as far as reading "command" from there. But that's not what this part of the docs dicsusses, as the paragraph shown above the removed lines in the context notes.
