Well that patch still cares about where the gitdir is except it
initializes a "struct repository" for the submodule and then builds a
path to the config using:
cfg_file = xstrfmt("%s/config", subrepo.gitdir);
hmm...I didn't get a chance to look at that series but that line looks
wrong. It probably should be more like:
cfg_file = repo_git_path(&subrepo, "config");
I'll go comment on that series.
