Re: [PATCH 1/3] git-submodule: allow submodule name and path to differ

Lars Hjemli [off-list ref] writes:

This teaches git-submodule to check module.*.path when looking for the
config for a submodule path. If no match is found it falls back to the
current behaviour (module.$path).

I have a feeling that it might be much less troublesome in the
longer term to admit that module.$path was a mistake and support
only one format; wouldn't trying to support both leave ambiguity
and confusion?
