The --model-dir option overrides the location of the models directory for stable diffusion, so that models can be shared across multiple installations. When --data-dir is specified alone, both the extensions and models folders are present in this folder. --models-dir can be used independently, but when used with --data-dir, then the models folder is specified by --models-dir, and extensions are found in the --data-dir.

This is fantastic, as I'd love to separate my models from codebase. :)
Just for clarity, I think an example of what moves when this is specified in the different cases would be a great help - it just a sample directory/file listing. I also wonder if this will affect all extensions? Hoping so :) I have a rats nest of hard and soft links across different projects right now. |

Problem Statement
The --data-dir option sets the extensions and model folders for automatic1111. This can be problematic if a user wishes to have a common models folder, but continue to maintain extensions in the application folder. An option has been added that allows the models folder to be set independently while preserving the current functionality of --data-dir for backwards compatibility.
Users who maintain multiple installations or are regularly trying new extensions will find this feature useful.
Summary
The --model-dir option overrides the location of the models directory for stable diffusion, so that models can be shared across multiple installations. When --data-dir is specified alone, both the extensions and models folders are present in this folder. --models-dir can be used independently, but when used with --data-dir, models are found in --models-dir, and extensions are under --data-dir.
