Does the same reason also apply to .git/modules/$name ?

In the case of .git/modules/, the second point doesn't apply because
there's no gitdir file.  But perhaps the core.worktree setting could be
used for the same purpose.

  $ pwd
  /path/to/super/.git/modules/sub
  $ git config core.worktree
  ../../../sub
