Something a bit more explicit might make things easier to understand.
For example:

"Let's add a new "add-clone" subcommand to `git submodule--helper`
with the goal of converting part of the shell code in git-submodule.sh
related to `git submodule add` into C code. This new subcommand clones
the repository that is to be added, and checks out to the appropriate
branch."

Then a simpler title could be:

"submodule--helper: introduce add-clone subcommand"
This is meant to be a faithful conversion that leaves the behaviour of
'submodule add' unchanged. The only minor change is that if a submodule name has
been supplied with a name that clashes with a local submodule, the message shown
to the user ("A git directory for 'foo' is found locally...") is prepended with
"error" for clarity.
Good.

This is part of a series of changes that will result in all of 'submodule add'
being converted to C, which is a more familiar language for Git developers, and
paves the way to improve performance and portability.

I have made this patch based on Shourya's patch[1]. I have decided to send the
changes in smaller, more reviewable parts. The add-clone subcommand of
submodule--helper is an intermediate change, while I work on translating all of
the code. So in the next few patches, this helper subcommand is likely to be
removed as its functionality would be invoked from the C code itself.
It might be a good idea to let us know how many such new subcommands
you'd like to introduce before removing them.

Anyway I think it's a good idea to send changes in smaller, more
easily reviewable parts. Hopefully this way more work will end up
being merged.

It would be nice if the above 2 lines could be reduced into just one
line. Maybe renaming "next_line" to just "line" could help with that.

Maybe this unconditional strvec_pushl(...) could be squashed into the
strvec_push(&clone_args, "clone") above.
