Ayush Patil d8c3ed1acb Register Git submodules under their own project path (#61859)
Closes #61671

A submodule's `.git` is a file pointing into the superproject's
`.git/modules/<name>`, which looks just like a linked worktree's `.git`
file. The identity-path resolution used for recent projects and project
grouping treated them the same, so submodules got registered under
`.git/modules/<name>` instead of their own folder.

The fix detects submodule git dirs (`is_submodule_git_dir`) and skips
resolution for them, so a submodule keeps its own working directory as
its identity. Linked worktrees and bare repos are unaffected.

### Current vs. Expected

Current: opening submodule `Foo/Bar` registers the path as
`Foo/.git/modules/Bar`.
Expected: it registers as `Foo/Bar`, like any other project.

### Tests

- `is_submodule_git_dir` unit test
- `resolve_git_worktree_to_main_repo` returns `None` for a submodule
- persistence test asserting the submodule identity stays at its own
folder

Release Notes:

- Fixed Git submodules being registered under the parent repository's
`.git/modules` directory instead of their own path

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
