would not expect the KDE 'supersuperproject' to know about admin at
all, neither in its index nor .gitmodules.

The admin submodule contains KDE specific things. So of course it
also would be a submodule in the grand whole KDE superduper module.

Aha! But as you say:

But that does not really matter.

Exactly.

However, to not have a lot of copies of the admin submodule
in

 .git/submodule/admin
 .git/submodule/kdelibs/.git/submodule/admin
 .git/submodule/kdebase/.git/submodule/admin
 .git/submodule/kdenetwork/.git/submodule/admin

the just suggested submodule.<name>.repopath to specify a repository
outside of .git/submodule to be shared by kdelibs,kdebase,... would
be fine.

Yes, repopath would work out nice for KDE (which btw seems to be a
great test-case for git-submodule)
