For .path a "Defaults to name of submodule" probably wouldn't hurt.

True. But there might be some issues with this rule, so I'll leave it
as is for now.

And what might those issues be?

There's been some discussion about allowing a default value for path, see
 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/49620

Euhm... this just points back to this thread...
or are you referring to Junio's misinterpretation of the patch 1/3 
commit message?

It doesn't have the extensions proposed by Linus, but it seems
to be forward compatible with them.

I'm trying to take baby-steps with the submodule support, so the
module/submodule extension Linus talked about would possibly come at a
later stage.

Hmm, maybe I should just rename [module] to [submodule] right now?

I don't see the need, but if you _really_ can't resist then please do it
sooner rather than later.
