This is available as
git fetch //github.com/stefanbeller/git unsetsubmoduleurl
and was hinted at in
https://public-inbox.org/git/cagz79kyfok9hfxm2-vmazlppqbofqyktyyuyjb8twzz6oz5...@mail.gmail.com/
Originally we have had the url in the config, (a) that we can change
the URLs after the "git submodule init" and "git submodule update"
step that actually clones the submodule if not present and much more
importantly (b) to know which submodule "was initialized/active".
Now that we have the submodule.active or even
submodule.<name>.active flags, we do not need (b) any more.
So the URL turns into a useless piece of cruft that just is unneeded
and might confuse the user.
Opinions?
Thanks,
Stefan
