Re: [PATCH v4 0/3] implement fetching of moved submodules

The previous RFC iteration can be found here:

This should now be in a state ready for review for inclusion.

The main difference from last iteration is that we now also support
unconfigured gitlinks for push and fetch for backwards compatibility.

To implement this compatibility we construct a default name for gitlinks
if there is a repository found at their location in the worktree.

I do not remember the details of the patch in the previous round
that corresponds to PATCH 2/3 here, so I cannot comment on the
incremental improvement between the two, but the fallback in 2/3
looks like a sensible thing to do.

Let's see what others, especially those who are interested in the
"--recurse-submodules" area, say.

Thanks.
