I would like to step back a bit and get back to the original problem
at hand: Francescos original use case of an attached head for direct
commits on a stable branch in a submodule. How about we finish
discussing the exact solution of that first. AFAIK that is already
solved with the following:

 * Trevor's first patch[2] to create a branch on initial clone of a submodule

That should be all (and IIRC Francesco agreed) needed for that use-case.

That was my understanding [3] ;).

I've been silent these days but yes: I confirm Trevor's second patch
iteration[1] gives, IMO, a better meaning of the
submodule.<name>.branch property and is perfectly fine for my use
case, to the point of stopping pursuing for my non behavior changing
patch[4] (I still think it deserved some more in depth reviews, though
;) ).

Cheers,
Francesco
