So in this patch we have either * submodule set * or gitdir/gitcommondir set which means that we exercise the commondir for regular repos. In the future when we want to be able to have a combination of worktrees and submodules this ought to be possible by setting submodule != NULL and still populating the gitdir/commondir buffers.
