To be redundant from my topic title, What does Supersample Prepass really do? ???

From the change log when this feature was added:
"  * Option to supersample the prepass (in render node settings). This takes more image samples in the prepass without increasing the total number of GI light samples. This provides a better coverage of GI on small parts or edges of objects and clouds, with a smaller increase in render times than a similar increase in GI relative detail."

and some more detail in a previous post from Matt:
