This is due to https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/3436 , which is not merged because upstream git hasn't actually figured out how to correctly handle worktrees plus submodules, so libgit2 doesn't want to make any decisions. It appears that upstream is in part stalled because nobody fully understands both worktrees and submodules.

Oh, but it looks like maybe there's some progress on this -- Duy and Stefan are both working on the relevant bits of the code. So there's probably not immediately something useful for me to do here.
