I guess my point is that the existing contrib script has proven to be
useful to people, even though it imposes these constraints on clients
wrt the config file (namely, you can't have multiple workdirs that
need different values in the config file).  This patch, in adding
submodule support, I expect would be similarly useful to people even
though it, also, imposes those same constraints to the submodule's
config files.

I guess you'd rather see these config file issues fixed for all use
cases?  If so, I'm probably not the right person since I do not know
enough about how config files are used in git -- I fear any changes I
made would make some things worse for (some) existing clients of the
script, which is not what I want.  It sounds like this functionality
is being reimplemented in git proper in any case, so perhaps it's best
just to wait for that.  I don't know what its submodule support will
be, though.
