Ah, well, I didn't mean that I was planning to work on this over the
weekend, but I can certainly get to it on Monday. I meant something
closer to "If you didn't want to think about git-submodule.sh for the
next week or so, I can pick this up".

Alternatively, I think it also makes sense if you want to reroll only
the submodule--helper bits (1-7/8) to unblock your git-submodule.sh
work, and I can prepare the rest of the "nuke --super-prefix" stuff on
top of that. That should save you a context switch, and since I sent out
[1], nuking --super-prefix shouldn't be urgent.

If you don't really care any which way, I'll just re-roll this :)

Yeah, this plan makes sense. One thing I'd add is that I'd also use
OPT__SUPER_PREFIX to handle "git fetch --submodule-prefix".
