I think this may give us a cleaner approach to support a "keep
multiple working trees from the same project that are configured
differently" setting.

I am not sure how well it meshes to call this as ".local" with the
"--local" option of "git config" (read: "local" is a loaded word,
and the way we have used it have been "per repository", but now you
are using it to mean "per working tree" that is finer grained),
though.

I hope that there aren't people that are crazy enough to bind the
same repository to two different places in the top-level project,
and insist that we (re)use the submodule repository ;-).
