That's what I'd like to see first.
.gitmodules(5) will hopefully not change in an incompatible
way after it is accepted, while there is no such constraint
for git-submodule.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have

[path '$path']
	submodule=modulename

and

[submodule '$modulename']
	url=/some/url

in case the same module appears in more than one path?
