Re: [PATCH v3 09/10] submodule--helper init: set submodule.<name>.active

So if we did

  git clone --submodule-spec=lib/

then each module under 'lib/' won't have their submodule.<name>.active
config set since submodule.active=lib/ already encompasses them.

Ah, OK.  That removes my worries ;-)  Thanks for an explanation.
