Hi Fredrik and git-submodule folks,

This frightens me a bit, so I read the wiki link about it. Thanks for
explaining where I can find this information.
But I'm still confused.
If I understand right, the submodule/.git dirs will be moved into the
top-level at .git/submodule/.git. The benefit is supposed to be that
this will free up contention on the non-empty submodule directory when
the super-project switches branches.
In the simple case, git warns "unable to rmdir sub: Directory not
empty". But I can think of other conflicts as well.
My question is, how does this proposed change help the situation?
Phil
