git_submodule_init

Version:

Copy submodule info into ".git/config" file.

Just like "git submodule init", this copies information about the submodule into ".git/config". You can use the accessor functions above to alter the in-memory git_submodule object and control what is written to the config, overriding what is in .gitmodules.
