I wonder if we can shorten the subject and make it a bit more concise,
how about

    submodule: Alllow staged changes for get_superproject_working_tree

or

    rev-parse: allow staged submodule in --show-superproject-working-tree

Usually it is hard to read, continuing from the commit title to the body
of the commit message, as the title may be displayed differently or
somewhere else, so it would be good to restate it or rather state the
command that is broken, which we are trying to fix.

    Invoking 'git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree' exits with

        fatal: BUG ...

    instead of displaying the superproject working tree when ....

The code looks good.

I wonder if we want to add a test for it, see t/t1500-rev-parse.sh
(at the very end 'showing the superproject correctly').

Side note: the commit message seems to be indented,
but the patch applies fine, which makes me curious:
How did you produce&send the patch?
(Usually a patch would not apply as white spaces are
mangled in the code for example in some email setups)
(If I had to guess I could imagine that it is the output of
git-show as that indents the commit message usually,
see git-format-patch for a better tool)

Thanks for writing the patch!
