this series teaches git to try and read the .gitmodules file from the index (:.gitmodules) and the current branch (HEAD:.gitmodules) when it is not readily available in the working tree.
FWIW I didn't read any of the earlier series's, and I'm not that familiar with the submodule code, but having skimmed this all (not live tested at all) nothing jumped out at me as an issue, I just had some minor style / potential memory leak nits on 1/9.
