I didn't follow the rest of the "struct repository" series closely, but
I don't feel like we ever reached a resolution on how config would be
handled. I notice that the in-process "ls-files" behaves differently
than the old one when config differs between the submodule and the
parent repository. As we convert more commands (that use more config)
this will become more likely to be noticed by somebody.

Do we have a plan for dealing with this? Is our solution just "recursed
operations always respect the parent config, deal with it"?
