That, or alternatively:

    [submodule "doc"]
        path = Documentation

    [submodule "help"]
        path = help

    [submodule "core"]
        path = core

    [submodule "app"]
        path = app

    [view "default"]
        modules = core app

    [view "doc"]
        modules = core doc help

Or even (mimicking the way how "git remote" defines remote groups):

    [submodule "doc"]
        path = Documentation

    [submodule "help"]
        path = help

    [submodule "core"]
        path = core

    [submodule "app"]
        path = app

    [submodule]
        default = core app
        doc = core doc help
