Hi! I'll preface by saying that I haven't had the time to keep this up to date with the other submodule developments.

My recollection was that this series had some small conflicts with es/superproject-aware-submodules. The last thing I had done was to rebase this on top of es/superproject-aware-submodules [0] and try to fix those conflicts. I had not rerolled that branch as a patch series yet, because I had thought that superproject-aware-submodules was still in flux.

I won't be able to actively work on this in the near future. Feel free to pick this up in case this patch is a blocker for yours or Glen's work.
