[PATCH v2 0/8] Improvements for ref storage formats with submodules

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Hi,

this is the second version of my patch series that aims to improve
interaction of ref storage formats with submodules.

Changes compared to v1:

  - I noticed that `git submodule add` also used to fail when used with
    a preexisting repository that uses a different ref format.

  - Add a preparatory refactoring that wraps overly long command lines
    in "git-submodule.sh".

  - Wire up support for `--ref-format=` in `git submodule add`.

Notably not included is a change to make `git submodule add/clone` honor
the ref storage format of the parent repository. I think it is somewhat
orthogonal to the changes I do in this series, and it is not entirely
obvious whether it is a good idea or not. We can still do this in a
future patch series, if we ever hear good arguments for it.

Thanks!
