Is that a 'try', or are those supposed to work?

4) Use

  [url "git@github.com:apk/"]
      insteadOf = "git://github.com/apk/"

in ~/.gitconfig allows changing the the actual url used. I use that to be able to clone seemingly with the public github url but still be able to push. You can use that to let an submodule point to some other place where there is a clone of the submodule repo, or another access method.
