What topics are those? Didn't see any outright conflicts, but might have
missed something. Anything Sahil & I can help with?

I'm in no rush to get this in. I just submitted it initially as a
"submodules make sense here, and in git.git, yay!"

But it's been 1 month kicking around in pu now. What are we gaining from
keeping it there even longer at this point?

Been meaning to do my part to follow-up on this one, sorry about the
delay.

I think between <7993e188.d18d.15c3560bcaf.Coremail.zxq_yx_007@xxxxxxx>
& <20170523103050.1f7ab7e0@jvn> we have sufficient info about what bug
this solves to try an alternate approach at some other time.

I think it makes sense to merge this down.
