@@ -63,6 +63,9 @@ Submodules can be used for at least two different use cases:
* Transfer size:
In its current form Git requires the whole working tree present. It
does not allow partial trees to be transferred in fetch or clone.
+ If you have your project as multiple repositories tied together as
+ submodules in a superproject, you can avoid fetching the working
+ trees of the repositories you are not interested in.
* Access control:

read/write policies for different users.
