Why is your patch then not about git-submodule?

And I still fail to see -- even for submodules -- how you begin to 
tackle that lookup problem.

Because git-submodule is a wrapper around git-fetch and git-clone and 
git-remote, and those lacked the mechanism to honor the fact that when I 
said

      git clone -o  frotz frontz.foo.bar/foo.git

I *defined* the upstream's nickname as "frotz", not "origin", and origin 
is *not* defined so don't try to use it. As sub-modules are git 
projects, fixing this in a sub-module necessarily fixes it in any git 
project.

Unfortunately, you _still_ fail to even ackonwledge that you still need a 
lookup, and that I have a point when saying "your patch does not help, 
since you still have a lookup".

But I start to believe that you do not even want to present an argument 
against this reasoning, so I will stop here.

Ciao,
