The tree_name is a hangover from when I was passing it as a command line arg, I'll remove it. For now we still need to rewrite argv to modify the pathspec and max-depth, eventually I'd like to ditch that approach in favour of using fork() and modifying opts.

I was struggling a little with how to do this. The run_command invocation in submodules.c uses local_repo_env which is protected against modification. I also don't understand how the actual values are passed. If someone could point me in the right direction it'd be appreciated.

Originally I did set cp.dir but that is used by run_command (via start_command) to chdir. Which foils the cwd to worktree detection (at least in V1 of that patch).
