submodule: detect conflicts with existing gitdir configs
Credit goes to Emily and Josh for testing and noticing a corner-case which caused conflicts with existing gitdir configs to silently pass validation, then fail later in add_submodule() with a cryptic error: fatal: A git directory for 'nested%2fsub' is found locally with remote(s): origin /.../trash directory.t7425-submodule-gitdir-path-extension/sub This change ensures the validation step checks existing gitdirs for conflicts. We only have to do this for submodules having gitdirs, because those without submodule.%s.gitdir need to be migrated and will throw an error earlier in the submodule codepath. Quoting Josh: My testing setup has been as follows: * Using our locally-built Git with our downstream patch of [1] included: * create a repo "sub" * create a repo "super" * In "super": * mkdir nested * git submodule add ../sub nested/sub * Verify that the submodule's gitdir is .git/modules/nested%2fsub * Using a build of git from upstream `next` plus this series: * git config set --global extensions.submodulepathconfig true * git clone --recurse-submodules super super2 * create a repo "nested%2fsub" * In "super2": * git submodule add ../nested%2fsub At this point I'd expect the collision detection / encoding to take effect, but instead I get the error listed above.
