Uninitialized submodules have nothing valueable for us to be worried about. They are just SHA-1. Let "worktree remove" and "worktree move" continue in this case so that people can still use multiple worktrees on repos with optional submodules that are never populated, like sha1collisiondetection in git.git when checked out by doc-diff script. Note that for "worktree remove", it is possible that a user initializes a submodule (*), makes some commits (but not push), then deinitializes it. At that point, the submodule is unpopulated, but the precious new commits are still in $GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<worktree>/modules/<submodule> directory and we should not allow removing the worktree or we lose those commits forever. The new directory check is added to prevent this. (*) yes they are screwed anyway by doing this since "git submodule" would add submodule.* in $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config, which is shared across multiple worktrees. But it does not mean we let them be screwed even more. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx> --- Fixed Eric's comment.
