This is exactly the level of details I'm talking about:
* how come sumbodules are not initialized when I do a clone of super.
I expect to be able to build super after I clone it. Is there a new
(undocumented) flag to clone?
* is it OK to *not* init a submodule? will super become unhappy? Can I
do commits to super in this case?
* why submodules should be listed in 2 places: in .submodules and in
super/.git/config?

P.S. There is an old saying "One fool can ask so many questions that a thousand wise man would not be able to answer" :-)
