+Submodules
+----------
+If the patch contains any changes to submodules then gitlink:git-apply[1]
+treats these changes as follows.
+
+If --index is specified (explicitly or implicitly), then the submodule
+commits must match the index exactly for the patch to apply. If any
+of the submodules are checked-out, then these check-outs are completely
+ignored, i.e., they are not required to be up-to-date or clean and they
+are not updated.
+
+If --index is not specified, then the submodule commits in the patch
+are ignored and only the absence of presence of the corresponding
+subdirectory is checked and (if possible) updated.
