Message-ID: <1282125673-22956-1-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com>

```
When "git submodule sync" synchronizes the repository URLs
it only updates submodules' .git/config.  However, the old
URLs still exist in the super-project's .git/config.

Update the super-project's configuration so that commands
such as "git submodule update" use the URLs from .gitmodules.

This git config applies to the super module, right? As such, shouldn't it
happen before you clear_local_git_env?

Good catch, thanks.  I'll resend.

When "git submodule sync" synchronizes the repository URLs
it only updates submodules' .git/config.  However, the old
URLs still exist in the super-project's .git/config.

Update the super-project's configuration so that commands
such as "git submodule update" use the URLs from .gitmodules.

Changes since v1:
We now call clear_local_git_env after configuring
the super project (thanks Johannes).
