That's a bit sketchy description.  From the title, I expected that
we would see one additional 'unsigned super_reference : 1;' field in
some structure, but that is not what is happening.  The log message
needs to describe what these string list are and why they are needed
a bit better.

At least, please don't name a multiple_word field "multipleword" ;-)

The phrase "super reference" made me imagine it is some kind of
"reference" that is applicable to the superproject, but this code
smells like it is a "prefix to create reference suited for use in
submodule".  Whatever it is, it should be explained better (than "no
desciption" which is what we have here ;-), and given a name that
match the explanation.

Thanks.
