Ok. I guess that's fair. Such a decision should definitely be documented 
appropriately in the submodule documentation, though.

I guess this also means you don't plan to do anything about the difference 
in origin URLs produced by "git clone" for the following two cases:

$ git clone /repo/foo bar
$ grep -B1 url bar/.git/config
[remote "origin"]
        url = /repo/foo/.git

vs.

$ git clone file:///repo/foo bar
$ grep -B1 url bar/.git/config
[remote "origin"]
        file:///home/johan/git/foo


Hmm?
