... in "cleanup" we're ALLOC_GROW()-ing? I haven't looked into this yet,
but this seems susppect. This is line 1879 in the following stacktrace:
	
	+ git -C super merge branch1
	Failed to merge submodule dir/sub
	CONFLICT (submodule): Merge conflict in dir/sub
	Recursive merging with submodules currently only supports trivial cases.
	Please manually handle the merging of each conflicted submodule.
	This can be accomplished with the following steps:
	 - go to submodule (dir/sub), and either merge commit 7018b5f
	or update to an existing commit which has merged those changes
	 - come back to superproject, and `git add dir/sub` to record the above merge or update
	 - resolve any other conflicts in the superproject
	 - commit the resulting index in the superproject
	Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
