The .gitmodules file contains all the information needed to describe the submodules in the repository. It is much easier to copy fragments of these files around than to type command-line options to git-module commands. I would like to be able to edit the super-repo by editing this file, and then run a git-module command to incorporate those changes. Things I would like to do:

* Add a new submodule by added a new section to the file

* Edit the details of a submodule, including moving it

* Delete a submodule
