Integrate updating the submodules into git checkout,...

It was more or less a pleasant read, once I decided to pretend that
I were a machine who uses identifiers only to identify locations in
the program ;-) IOW, for human consumption, the new names introduced
were sometimes quite confusing and went against helping understanding.

Based on my cursory reading, I agree. I had trouble understanding how
the process worked because the names were somewhat confusing. They
started to make some sense as I read more. I think v4 had better names
than v3, but they were still somewhat confusing to me.
