Could you please document the proposed .gitmodules first?

The man-page for git-submodule found in 'next' mentions how it uses
.gitmodules, but there isn't (yet) a separate man-page for
.gitmodules(5).

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.

[path '$path']
 submodule=modulename
 url=/some/url

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?

Is it ok if gitmodules(5) appears as part of the planned patch-series?

For me it is.
