Ok so labels will be in the .gitmodules file. This means that if we go
back in history using git bisect or something similar, we'll
potentially change what the default submodules are for example?

This is sort of why having some submodule data appear in the
.git/config file is useful since it helps keep things like the remote
url safe from being updated when doing this sort of thing.

I am not sure if labels will be that important in this case?

Thanks,
