This is true.  I recall there was a lengthy thread a while
back about how "origin" might not always be what you'd want
when cloning a repo.  I'll address your comments, use
Mark's get_default_remote, and resend.  I have a feeling that
addressing the use of remote names in submodules is beyond
the scope of this patch for now since it seems like we'd need
that info stored somewhere in a superproject gitfile.
