We could store the GIT_DIR of submodule within the GIT_DIR of the
superproject instead of the submodule directory itself. So instead of:
 /
 /.git
 /subdir
 /subdir/.git

There would be:
 /
 /.git
 /subdir
 /.git/submodules/submodule-name.git

I have this already, except that I use /.git/submodules/submodule-name/.git
because I was too lazy to figure out how to get clone to use the above
without using --bare, because --bare disables separate-remotes.

Is there any good reason, btw for --bare not to do separate-remotes ?
We could throw out a lot of speical cases, especially the --bare http
fetch if we would simply always do a separate-remotes.

Glad to hear it. I didn't really have time to read through all the patches.

This would require changes to the logic how git finds GIT_DIR (which would be
really deep change),

Euhm.... I just add a symlink...

Yes. Except I am not sure mingw supports that.
