+# Create a submodule layout used for all tests below.
+#
+# The following use cases are covered:
+# - New submodule (no_submodule => add_sub1)
+# - Removed submodule (add_sub1 => remove_sub1)
+# - Updated submodule (add_sub1 => modify_sub1)
+# - Updated submodule recursively (add_nested_sub => modify_sub1_recursively)
+# - Submodule updated to invalid commit (add_sub1 => invalid_sub1)
+# - Submodule updated from invalid commit (invalid_sub1 => valid_sub1)
+# - Submodule replaced by tracked files in directory (add_sub1 =>
+#   replace_sub1_with_directory)
+# - Directory containing tracked files replaced by submodule
+#   (replace_sub1_with_directory => replace_directory_with_sub1)
+# - Submodule replaced by tracked file with the same name (add_sub1 =>
+#   replace_sub1_with_file)
+# - Tracked file replaced by submodule (replace_sub1_with_file =>
+#   replace_file_with_sub1)
