The "how about this" patch you are voting against (I am neutral by the

documentation is wrong---it should say 'do not', not 'cannot'".

So what should the updated document say?

If I understand this correctly, the third use case isn't actually 
unique: if the upstream repo is on a local file system, why not just use 
a file://... url for the super project's origin?
