git's current support for remote nicknames other than
"origin" is restricted to tracking branches where
branch.<name>.remote is defined. This does not work on
detached heads, and thus does not work for managed
submodules as those are kept on detached heads. When working
with submodules, the remote must be called "origin."

As my project is distributed across multiple domains with
many firewalls and airgaps such that no single server is
available to all, we really need to use nicknames to refer
to different servers, and we need that to work well with
submodules.

So, this patch series:
1) defines a new "remotes.default" config variable per
repository to be the default remote used if no
branch.<name>.remote is found.

2) teaches clone to set remotes.default according to
the user's command (via -o).

3) teaches remote rm to unset remotes.default if deleting
that remote.

4) teaches git-submodule to propoagate the parent's default
branch to submoules during "init", IFF those modules are
defined using relative urls. (Modules using absolute urls
are likely from a different server, so this inheritence is
not likely the right thing in that case.)


This is working well for me, allowing

        git clone -o myserver <url> project
        cd project
        git submodule init
        git submoule update

to work as expected, with all submodules pointing to
"myserver" rather than "origin" and updating correctly despite
being on detached heads.
