Relative URLs only worked with<proto>://<host>/<location> style URLs, and would break when cloning a repository using<user>@<host>:<location> (scp) style "URL"s. When a submodule's URL was set to "../submodule.git", and the repository using it was cloned from "git@xxxxxxxxxxx:repo.git", git would try to clone the submodule from "git@xxxxxxxxxxx:repo.git/submodule.git", which would not likely work.
My solution for this has been to always give the full path, possibly using ~ e.g., git@xxxxxxxxxxx:~/repo.git and as that works fine, I'm indifferent to this proposed change.
