+ * we always continue to see it as a gitlink, regardless of whether
+ * there is an actual git directory there or not (it might not
+ * be checked out as a subproject!)
+ *
+ * Case 3: if we didn't have it in the index previously, we
+ * have a few sub-cases:
+ *
+ *  (a) if "show_other_directories" is true, we show it as
+ *      just a directory, unless "hide_empty_directories" is
+ *      also true, in which case we need to check if it contains any
+ *      untracked and / or ignored files.
+ *  (b) if it looks like a git directory, and we don't have
+ *      'no_gitlinks' set we treat it as a gitlink, and show it
+ *      as a directory.
+ *  (c) otherwise, we recurse into it.

+ * "foo".
+ *
+ * This function traverses all directories from root to leaf. If there
+ * is a chance of one of the above cases happening, we invalidate back
+ * to root. Otherwise we just invalidate the leaf. There may be a more
+ * sophisticated way than checking for SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES to
+ * detect these cases and avoid unnecessary invalidation, for example,
+ * checking for the untracked entry named "bar/" in "foo", but for now
