It's (sadly) common when different accounts are scattered here and 
there ... :-)

Let us suppose that for some ongoing work we need to tweak both maint and 
master branches.

Do we need to check out a branch, make the changes, publish (push) those 
changes and then update the submodule to reference the new commit ?

I hope that pushes are not involved for such task, in our setup ...

But is too late now ... have a good night,
Francesco
