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.
