Hrm, why does the user have submodule.$name.$whatever customized
before saying "submodule init $whategver" for that copying to be
problematic?

Matching what cmd_commit() does to what cmd_status() does, i.e. grab
submodule.$name.ignore from somewhere, is not something I questioned.
The patch is a good change to make them consistent.

What I was wondering was if that is a consistently wrong thing to do
to read from .gitmodules not $GIT_DIR/config.

In any case, the log message I suggested in the review needs to be
updated in the reroll to make it clear that this is about reading
from .gitmodules, not "configuration".  AFAICS, gitmodule_config()
does not even read from $GIT_DIR/config, right?
