Re: [RFC PATCH] Move git-dir for submodules

I wonder if we want a new option to "git rev-parse" so that we can say

	git rev-parse --is-well-formed-git-dir init/.git

to perform these checks without exposing the implimentation detail.

How about using
(cd <repo>; git rev-parse --verify HEAD" >/dev/null)
instead?

Can the <repo> be without any commit, i.e. just after created?
