	<div>
	Specify the repository to track. This can be a URL or a local file path.
	Note that for super-projects (repositories with submodules), only a local file
	path or a complete URL is valid. The following are examples of valid git URLs.
	<ul>
	<li>ssh://git@github.com/github/git.git</li>
	<li>git@github.com:github/git.git (short notation for ssh protocol)</li>
	<li>ssh://user@other.host.com/~/repos/R.git (to access the repos/R.git
	repository in the user's home directory)</li>
	<li>https://github.com/github/git.git</li>
	<li>git://github.com/github/git.git</li>
	</ul>
	<br>
	If the repository is a super-project, the
	location from which to clone submodules is dependent on whether the repository
	is bare or non-bare (i.e. has a working directory).
	<ul>
	<li>If the super-project is bare, the location of the submodules will be
	taken from <i>.gitmodules</i>.</li>
	<li>If the super-project is <b>not</b> bare, it is assumed that the
	repository has each of its submodules cloned and checked out appropriately.
	Thus, the submodules will be taken directly from a path like
	<code>${SUPER_PROJECT_URL}/${SUBMODULE}</code>, rather than relying on
	information from <i>.gitmodules</i>.</li>
	</ul>

	For a local URL/path to a super-project,
	<i>git rev-parse --is-bare-repository</i>
	is used to detect whether the super-project is bare or not.
	<br>
	For a remote URL to a super-project, the ending of the URL determines whether
	a bare or non-bare repository is assumed:
	<ul>
	<li>If the remote URL ends with <i>/.git</i>, a <i>non</i>-bare repository is
	assumed.</li>
	<li>If the remote URL does <b>NOT</b> end with <i>/.git</i>, a bare
	repository is assumed.</li>
	</ul>
	</div>
