Because git-submodule is a wrapper around git-fetch and git-clone and 
git-remote, and those lacked the mechanism to honor the fact that when I 
said

       git clone -o  frotz frontz.foo.bar/foo.git

I *defined* the upstream's nickname as "frotz", not "origin", and origin 
is *not* defined so don't try to use it. As sub-modules are git 
projects, fixing this in a sub-module necessarily fixes it in any git 
project.
