+When operating on submodules you can either give paths to specify the
+desired submodules or give no paths at all to apply the command to the
+default group of submodules. By default all submodules are included in
+the default group. You can change the default group by configuring
+submodule.defaultGroup. Once the default group is configured any
+submodule operation without a specified set of submodules will use
+the default group as the set to operate on.

Submodules are composed from a so-called `gitlink` tree entry
in the main repository that refers to a particular commit object
within the inner repository that is completely separate.
