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

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?

Just my 2cents: git-submodule is not yet in any released version. So let's 
fix things early. In our world, it's not like you lose face when you have 
to admit mistakes. (Instead, you lose face when you refuse to fix them.) 
Ah, if only politics learnt from our world...
