The man-page for git-submodule found in 'next' mentions how it uses
.gitmodules, but there isn't (yet) a separate man-page for
.gitmodules(5).

But: when I implement the proposed plan, it will change the current
layout of .gitmodules from

[module '$path']
  url=/some/url

to

[path '$path']
  submodule=modulename
  url=/some/url

Is it ok if gitmodules(5) appears as part of the planned patch-series?
