Subject: ''git submodule sync'' should not add uninitialized submodules to .git/config
Message-ID: <0D2618D7-0681-4E71-B412-36D490D45B9D@gmail.com>

When I initialize 2/3 submodules of my git repository and do git submodule update, all is fine: Only the 2 submodules that I need are updated.

When I run a git submodule sync to update the URLs that may have been changed in .gitmodules, it ADDS the URL of the submodule that was NOT initialized, thus "initializing" it.

Now, when I run git submodule update, it starts checking out the third module and my workflow is broken.

git submodule sync should not add entries to .git/config, only update existing ones.
