Re: [PATCH] Let .git/config specify the url for submodules

Then Sven suggested to create a submodule section for the url, which would 
allow

 $ name=$(GIT_CONFIG=.gitmodules git-config path."$path".submodule)
 $ url=$(GIT_CONFIG=.gitmodules git-config submodule."$name".url)


But I don't see an easy way to do the mapping from path to url/submodule 
with:

[submodule "xyzzylib"]
 path=lib
 url=git://xyzzy/lib-1.2.3

Suggestions?

I'm not a shell programmer, but it could look something like this

    $ name=$(git config --get-regexp 'submodule\..*\.path' | while read module modulepath; do if test "$modulepath" = "$path"; then echo $module | sed -e 's/^submodule.//' -e 's/.path//'; fi; done)
