How about:

  …so that *a* changed submodule ** updates the index and work tree of
  any initialized submodule according to the SHA-1 recorded in the
  superproject.  Before this commit it updated neither; users had to
  run 'submodule update' to propagate gitlink updates into the
  submodule.

I'm pretty sure that's accurate anyway ;).

Cheers,
Trevor
