So you not only store your submodule HEAD commit in the supermodule when 
you
do commit to the supermodule, it also means that your submodule HEAD
will be updated when you update your supermodule.

Why the magic? The typical workflow in git is

1. You work on a branch, i.e. edit and commit and so on.
2. At some point, you decide to share the work you did on that branch 
(e-mail a patch, merge into another branch, push upstream or let it by 
pulled by upstream)

3. Other people want to use your new work.

Sorry, if that was not obvious: You actually procceed with one of the 
options I listed in Step 2. What I wanted to state is that with git you 
do not mix up committing (which is local to your repository and your 
branch) and publishing.
