This is the third round of the former two patch series. It applies cleanly on current master and maint and IMO is maint stuff as it fixes bugs related to submodules. Those were introduced when moving the git directory into that of the superproject and using a gitfile instead. The first patch is unchanged from version one, in the second I did address the concerns raised about the while loop. Those two patches make superprojects movable again. The third patch started as a mere refactoring, but while working on it I noticed it also fixes an issue when submodules are moved around inside a superproject. The forth patch is provided by Johannes Sixt and addresses the issue that under windows both POSIX and Windows style paths may occur which sometimes broke the computation of relative paths. Now all issues I'm aware of are fixed and tested for. In the next step I'll be looking into teaching git mv to handle submodules, as just mv'ing them someplace else, upating .gitmodules and adding the paths isn't sufficient anymore. The core.worktree setting - and sometimes the gitfile too (when the submodule is moved to a different directory level) - have to be updated too to make that work (That would be easier if git could treat the directory a gitfile was found in as a candidate for the work tree, as then we could get rid of the core.worktree setting, but we don't have that functionality).
