This function goes away with 1c866b98 ("submodule--helper: replace
connect-gitdir-workingtree by ensure-core-worktree", 2018-08-03) in
sb/submodule-update-in-c topic. git-submodule.sh has simlar
conflicts.
I guess its replacement function does not care as deeply as its
predecessor used to about where the submodule's $GIT_DIR is, so the
correct resolution may be just to ignore the change made to this
caller to the new name-to-gitdir function.
It would have been nicer to see a bit better inter-developer
coordination, especially between two who sit practically next to
each other ;-)
Thanks.
