Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] rm: stage submodule removal from '.gitmodules' when using '--cached'

Ahhh. Understood and will work on it. BTW then when does
GITMODULES_INDEX even fulfill its purpose? Its name can confuse anyone
into thinking what it made me think: it is the index copy of the
gitmodules.

I do not offhand know where in our codebase we use it (I am not a
submodule person).

Perhaps get_sha1(":.gitmodules", sha1)?  Even then, I'd probably
prefer to see it spelled as

	get_sha1(":" GITMODULES_FILE, sha1)

with token concatenation.

Is it something which is to be changed in the near future?

Sorry, I do not understand the question.
