There might be.  But one of the reasons submodules are not just tree 
objects is that you should be able _not_ to check out all of them (think 
KDE).

Well, URLs can change.  Therefore, .submodules has what is considered the 
current URL, but you can change it yourself in .git/config.  (At least 
that is how I understood it.)

Ciao,
