I understand what you are trying to say. The thing is that the conditional `if (S_ISGITLINK(p->mod_dst))` already guards the `verify_submodule_committish` when we have a status of 'D'. So, we do not need another similar if-statement for that. It does seem a bit weird to someone who is reading this thing for the first time, hence, I will mention this in the commit message.
Apologies for the late reply, I was a little busy with something.
