None of the above three explains the most important thing directly,
so readers fail to grasp what the main theme of the three-patch
series is, without looking at the commits that were reverted
already.
Is the theme of the overall series to make sure core.worktree is set
to point at the working tree when submodule's working tree is
instantiated, and unset it when it is not?
2/4 was also explained (in the original) that it wants to unset and
did so when "move_head" gets called. This one does the unset when a
submodule is deinited. Are these the only two cases a submodule
loses its working tree? If so, the log message for this step should
declare victory by ending with something like
... as we covered the only other case in which a submodule
loses its working tree in the earlier step (i.e. switching
branches of top-level project to move to a commit that did
not have the submodule), this makes the code always maintain
core.worktree correctly unset when there is no working tree
for a submodule.
Thanks. I think I agree with what the series wants to do (if I read
what it wants to do correctly, that is).
