[PATCH v2 2/5] SubmittingPatches: discuss subsystems separately from git.git

From: Linus Arver <linusa@google.com>

The discussion around subsystems disrupts the flow of discussion in the surrounding area, which only deals with starting points used for the git.git project. So move this bullet point out to the end.
