Actually, I said more things. Things about fixing git-submodule first, so that you can ask it to update via different remotes than "origin". And then try to argue for the rest. > BIG difference here: > $HOME = of home directory, is arbitrary.

"origin" is just the name of the default origin, holding the remote URL. Just like "HOME" is just the name of the variable holding the home directory. But really. Fix git-submodule first. Ciao, Dscho
