  Especially it "fixes" git-new-workdir, which becomes really
inefficient (storage and typing-wise) when submodules are in use, since
it doesn't share git_dir's for the submodules (this could also be hacked
together, but again, it's so much more convenient if we have only _one_
git_dir per repository that ... oh well)
