I mostly really like how 'worktree' can let me focus in on only the
submodules I care about.  The drawback is that git status would no
longer list my true status.  I know that may sound hypocritical, but I
intended for this patch to only affect my PS1.  At the same time, I
would like to see the 'worktree' patch taken, regardless of whether
you guys find mine useful.
