Right. Good, I'm glad it worked for you. That's what I would have
hoped. You were right to override this check.

At least one of these ideas ought to be doable, yes. Only whitespace
should be easy.
It's also possible that we could use git-submodule(1) to parse the
file but that would depend on someone knowing how to drive it. Maybe
"git-submodule foreach" is the right thing.
