Unrelated side question: What would you think of "variable context line
configuration" ? e.g. you could configure it to include anything from
up that line
that is currently shown after the @@ which is the function signature line.

As to the add_head_info/resolve_ref_unsafe what impact does that have?
It produces a wrong head info but AFAICT it will never die(), such that for the
purposes of this series (which only wants to know if a submodule uses the
worktree feature) it should be fine.

It is highly misleading though for others to build upon this.
So maybe I'll only add the functionality internally in worktree.c
and document why the values are wrong, and only expose the
"int submodule_uses_worktrees(const char *path)" ?

It actually works correctly: "No submodule is the current worktree".

ok I'll add a TODO/emptyfunction for that.

Thanks for the review!
