Re: [PATCH 2/2] submodule: munge paths to submodule git directories

So it would be nice, for future-proofing, if we can change the naming
scheme later.

All at the cost of recording a little configuration somewhere.  If we
want to decrease the configuration, we can avoid recording it there in
the easy cases (e.g. when name == gitdirname).  That's "just" an
optimization.

And then we have the ability later to handle all the edge cases we
haven't handled yet today:

- sharding when the number of submodules is too large
- case-insensitive filesystems
- path name length limits
- different sets of filesystem-special characters

Sane?

Yup.
