Conceptionally this information would have to be part of the
supermodule tree (after all it changes how your tree is set up).

I think it makes more sense to make users think about which part
of their tree can be reused and make them choose submodule boundaries
wisely so that the above partial-checkout is not needed.

Most of the time we may not need to add any per-submodule URL
information anyway.  If you fetch a new supermodule version, you
can get the new submodule from the same source (or from a per-submodule
source which can be determined by looking at and munching the supermodule U=
RL).
