Wait a minute.
Not using bare clones in DISTDIR is completely unacceptable here.
It is bad enough to have to use non-bare for repos which have
submodules. Doing so for all is b0rked.

I didn't notice that bug until you just pointed it out. Nor did I see
any of the explanations you mention above.

I cannot. It makes the eclass useless.
I have almost 2 gigs of bare repo in distdirs/git-src.
A forced re-download of all of that is just not possible!
The existing distdir clones *MUST* continue to work.
My applogies for not having looked for this kind of breakage in the new
eclass before now. The current git eclass finally got the submodules-
vs-normal stuff worked out some time ago; the possibility of going
backwards never occurred to me.... ☹
As someone who makes heavy use of live ebuilds, someone who will be
directly and severely affected by such a change, I have to beg you
to keep the current logic for submodule-less repos.
P.S. The kind of clone used in distdir is irrelevant to the
fact that git-clone should be used to populate $S.
