This seems to overlap with Emily's 242655f2 (submodule: record superproject gitdir during 'update', 2021-08-19) that came in <20210819200953.2105230-5-emilyshaffer@google.com>.

Should I expect there probably needs a few more iterations for this topic? Depending, the "a submodule knows which superproject it is part of" topic may have to be done in C on top of this topic.

I'll eject the 'es/superproject-aware-submodules' topic for now, just to get today's integration going.

Thanks.
