Yes, that works for me. I hadn't quite gotten to the later patch yet,
but I queued it as 'ab/remove--super-prefix' and then merged it into the
new branch (along with 'ab/submodule-helper-prep-only').
Then everything applied as expected, so that is good.

No worries, I figured. It's helpful to know whether you intended to
supersede, build on top of, or propose an alternative direction for
Glen's patch.
For what it's worth, I think it's totally fine to say: "I have this
alternative approach in a series, and here it is", but it is also
helpful to add "let's figure out a way to build these together instead
of queuing this alternative approach as-is".

Thanks very much.
Thanks,
