Thanks. Will typofix while extending with info supplied by Stefan like so: submodules doc: update documentation for "." used for submodule branches 4d7bc52b17 ("submodule update: allow '.' for branch value", 2016-08-03) adopted from Gerrit a feature to set "." as a special value of "submodule..branch" in .gitmodules file to indicate that it signifies that the tracking branch in the submodule should be the same as the current branch in the superproject. Update the documentation to describe this.
