Re: [RFC-PATCHv2] submodules: add a background story

And then after doing the "git mv" you have pushed the result, which
I pulled.  Now, how will your "internal mapping" propagate to me?

The "name" inside your superprojects git dir may be different from mine,
after all the name only serves the purpose to not have duplicate
git repositories when renaming a submodule.

That is true, but you still need to convey "what I used to have at
'path' is now at 'htap'".  It is clear how to do so if we use "name"
in .gitmodules (you say "what we collectively call module A is now
at 'htap'").  I do not know how you do so without having a name.
