Why does this have to be out-of-tree and unversioned to begin
with?

Probably to cater for subprojects moving away from the url mentioned
in the versioned .gitmodules file.

When you are bootstrapping, you will start by a fetch/clone of
the superproject.  Why can't that tree contain necessary
information that is relevant to the superproject in question?

It sure can, and it would be the most natural solution. I just wanted
to mention an alternative to the 'git config --remote' solution.
