   Sometimes people tell me I have a knack for finding my way into unusually cursed problems.

     @mcc so hold up. Was there a way?

     @stacked_automation Oh.

     i d… I don't control the submodule. I control the parent repo and I am including someone else's git repo as a submodule. Does that mean this idea no longer works?

     @mcc @stacked_automation You don't control the submodule, but you could control a directory between the submodule and the project root?

     @mcc my understanding is the workspace would be defined in the submodule, so that when you call cargo *in that submodule*, it will only read submodule/.cargo/config.toml

     similarly, submodule/.cargo/config.toml values take precedence over root/.cargo/config.toml
     so if it were:

     root/.cargo/config.toml::[build] jobs = 2

     that was breaking things, you would override with:

     root/submodule/.cargo/config.toml::[build] jobs = 1

     @mcc you may be able to use workspaces to block it (see link),
     or by explicitly overriding the values messing things up in the submodules config file.

     @stacked_automation

     1. would using workspaces require moving my src/main.rs to a subdirectory/src/main.rs?
     2. where would the explicit overriding take place? environment variables?

     @mcc It sounds like there is nothing one can do to stop ancestor traversal, but if a setting in root config messes submodule up, you might be able to revert it in the middle directory?

     @clacke @stacked_automation I do actually. That's sufficient? Maybe I was confused what was being proposed.
