From: "W. Trevor King" <wking@tremily.us>

This makes it easy to access per-submodule variables.  For example,

  git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'

can now be reduced to

  git submodule foreach 'git checkout $submodule_branch && git pull'
