Good eyes, I'll fix that in v3.

Yes, I used this pattern because it was already used for other variables in 
the script, __git_config_vars and __git_config_sections are some examples,

    git grep 'test -n .* ||' contrib/completion/git-completion.bash

finds also others. I think the idea is to cache these lists to avoid 
computing them everytime they are needed (probably most useful on Windows 
where process creation is longer). I'll mention that in the 
commit message.

Yes that would be more complete indeed, but it would then make more
sense to add that test in 2/5 since __git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section
is not involved in determining submodule names.

I'll make that change, thanks.

Philippe.
