To make a submodule effectively usable, the path and a URL where the submodule can be cloned need to be stored in .gitmodules. This subcommand takes care of setting this information after cloning the new submodule. Only the index is updated, so, if needed, the user may still change the URL or switch to a different branch of the submodule before committing.
