When `remote.<name>.branch` is not configured, `git submodule update` currently falls back to using the branch name `master`. A much better idea, however, is to use the remote `HEAD`: on all Git servers running reasonably recent Git versions, the symref `HEAD` points to the main branch. Note: t7419 demonstrates that there _might_ be use cases out there that _expect_ `git submodule update --remote` to update submodules to the remote `master` branch even if the remote `HEAD` points to another branch. Arguably, this patch makes the behavior more intuitive, but there is a slight possibility that this might cause regressions in obscure setups. Even so, it should be okay to fix this behavior without anything like a longer transition period: - The `git submodule update --remote` command is not really common. - Current Git's behavior when running this command is outright confusing, unless the remote repository's current branch _is_ `master` (in which case the proposed behavior matches the old behavior). - If a user encounters a regression due to the changed behavior, the fix is actually trivial: setting `submodule.<name>.branch` to `master` will reinstate the old behavior.
