Nope, the distinction between path and name is way older (AFAIK it is there from day one). That was just the point in time where you could choose a different name without editing .gitmodules. And the fact that the name is initialized with the path confused a lot of people. > The first > submodule.<path>.branch reference landed a short time later in > b9289227 (submodule add: If --branch is given, record it in > .gitmodules, 2012-12-19), and I was probably just not aware of > 73b0898d.

This fixes the only two usages of 'submodule.<path>.*' in the Documentation I can see in current master. > Documentation/git-submodule.txt | 4 ++-- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/git-submodule.txt b/Documentation/git-submodule.txt > index 46c1eeb..77588b0 100644 > --- a/Documentation/git-submodule.txt > +++ b/Documentation/git-submodule.txt > @@ -162,7 +162,7 @@ update:: > + > For updates that clone missing submodules, checkout-mode updates will > create submodules with detached HEADs; all other modes will create > -submodules with a local branch named after `submodule.<path>.branch`. > +submodules with a local branch named after `submodule.<name>.branch`. > + > For updates that do not clone missing submodules, the submodule's HEAD > is only touched when the remote reference does not match the > @@ -247,7 +247,7 @@ OPTIONS > -b:: > --branch:: > Branch of repository to add as submodule. > - The name of the branch is recorded as `submodule.<path>.branch` in > + The name of the branch is recorded as `submodule.<name>.branch` in > `.gitmodules` for `update --remote`. > > -f:: > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
