Hmph.  I was hoping that the multiple-work-trees topic was ready for
'next' by now, but we may want to wait to see how the interaction

before it happens.  This is a topic with large impact and is quite
intrusive code-wise, even though the intrusive parts are cleanly
done.  So we'd want to take more time to unleash it to the general
public than more usual small scale topics, anyway.

Originally I wanted to get it merged without submodule support, but I
failed to spot the local_repo_env problem and could have caused a
regression for submodules. So yeah delaying the series does not sound
bad. Not sure about the reroll (i.e. rewriting current patches). I
think putting patches on top with explanation is better. But we can
keep it in 'pu' and see if we really need to reroll.

I didn't look into your series in detail, but it looks to my like
excepting the .git/modules directory from sharing (by putting it
into local_repo_env array) and adding a test for that (just to be
sure that no modules directory shows up where it shouldn't) should
be sufficient to get your stuff merged without submodule support.
It might be better to handle submodule support in a follow up series.

Does that make sense?
