Hi Junio,

I can send a v7 later today.

It will only contain the improvements to 7416-submodule-sparse-gitmodules.sh as discussed in [*1*], it won't contain changes to patch 8 as motivated in https://public-inbox.org/git/20181008143709.dfcc845ab393c9caea66035e@ao2.it/

I will also leave patch 10 unchanged, improvements can be made in follow-up patches.

BTW, what is the new topic which depends on this one?

Thank you,
   Antonio
