Since you're so stubborn about it, I suppose 'git add' could call a
function in my "new first-class program to attach detach
worktrees/workdirs and relocate GITDIRs" as a last resort (if the user
somehow managed to put a GITDIR in the submodule worktree despite our
well-designed tools).  But last resort is not what we should be
discussing now: we're discussing what the design should ideally be.
And ideally, I think we both agree that it's best if init/clone did
the relocation.
