From: "W. Trevor King" <wk...@tremily.us>
This removes a configuration step if you're trying to setup Ævar's
$ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file
$toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'
workflow from
commit f030c96d8643fa0a1a9b2bd9c2f36a77721fb61f

git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
If you're not using that workflow, I see no harm in recording the
branch used to determine the original submodule commit.
