Re: [PATCH v5 1/5] setup: add gentle version of read_gitfile

> read_gitfile will die on most error cases. This makes it unsuitable
> for speculative calls. Extract the core logic and provide a gentle
> version that returns NULL on failure.
>
> The first usecase of the new gentle version will be to probe for
> submodules during git clean.
