Re: submodule.<path>.branch vs. submodule.<name>.branch

  [side note] Isn't that a typo of submodule.<name>.branch?

Good catch.

The transition from submodule.<path>.* to submodule.<name>.* happened
in 73b0898d (Teach "git submodule add" the --name option, 2012-09-30),
which landed in v1.8.1-rc0 on 2012-12-03.  

Thanks for digging.

Strictly speaking, I think this was not even a transition (rather,
there was no way to give a submodule a name that is different from
its path).  In any version of git whose git-submodule.sh has
module_name helper function, the path and the name were conceptually
two different things, and we should have been using the name, not
path, throughout.

...  Both should be updated
to submodule.<name>.branch.

I agree.  Thanks.
