See http://stackoverflow.com/a/17199855/717355 for a more complete explanation
and links onwards to some tutorials
(http://www.vogella.com/articles/Git/article.html#submodules in particular with
it's
"Warning
This means that if you pull in new changes into the submodules, you need to
create a new commit in your main repository in order to track the updates of
the nested submodules."
).
It does show that there are different ways of using submodules, each with their
own particular special traits.

Subject: [git-users] Re: Submodule tracking remote master shows modified on
super project git status after submodule update --remote

In my superproject I have two submodules and I want them to track always
master master. Using Git 1.8.2.
So I've added "branch = master" to .gitmodules and using git submodule
update --remote to pull always recent master.
However everytime submodule master is updated, running superproject git
status or diff shows its recorded sha1 has changed.
This doesn't make sense since I am tracking master? Shouldn't it show it
has changed only when submodule HEAD is not the branch recorded in my
superproject's .gitmodules ??
