Requesting feedback on whether changes are needed in the submodule documentation. #1753

If we add a new commit with changes in the submodule, and within that commit, we change the remote URLs of the subsubmodule, running git submodule sync --recursive will not sync those remote URLs until we update the submodule.

Should we document this behavior, or can it be managed using absorbgitdirs, or is it assumed that people will understand the need to run submodule sync multiple times in such scenarios?
