Revision 1f4e9319c7ce25efbb4e8469eff11c53dd079318 authored by Philippe Blain on 03 January 2021, 17:42:15 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 04 January 2021, 19:29:36 UTC
'gitmodules.txt' is a guide about the '.gitmodules' file that describes
submodule properties, and that file must exist at the root of the
repository. This was clarified in e5b5c1d2cf (Document clarification:
gitmodules, gitattributes, 2008-08-31).

However, that commit mistakenly uses the non-existing environment
variable 'GIT_WORK_DIR' to refer to the root of the repository.

Fix that by using the correct variable, 'GIT_WORK_TREE'. Take the
opportunity to modernize and improve the formatting of that guide,
and fix a grammar mistake.
