But you are comparing oranges and apples, aren't you? You are not
counting "oh by the way this cannot be in .gitmodules" as part of 5.

After reading the original again and again, I hate more and more the
way the original wasted too many words to refer to one thing twice
(e.g. "arbitrary command" and then "is the custom command", "a
single argument" and then the parenthesized explanation of it)
without adding any clarity.
