From: Denton Liu Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2019 11:21:28 GMT Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] git-submodule.txt: "--branch " option defaults to 'master' Message-ID: <2ba8751212b634dd18e16011b1714588e43502e1.1549624679.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: This behavior is mentioned in gitmodules.txt but not in git-submodule.txt so we copy the information over so that it is not missed. Also, add the missed argument to the -b/--branch option.
