This series improves handling by 'git submodule' of relative superproject origin URLs. Currently, 'git submodule': * incorrectly configures origin URL for submodules with a path that is relative to the work tree of the superproject when the configured path needs to be relative to the work tree of the submodule * unnecessarily fails with an error if the superproject origin URL is of the form: foo This series corrects these problems for paths like the following: foo foo/bar ./foo ./foo/bar ../foo ../foo/bar It does not change current behaviour for URLs that begin with a leading / or contain a : as such URLs are deemed to be absolute URLs for which no correction is required. In addition, this series ensures that relative URLs configured by git submodule do not include a superfluous leading or embedded './'. This series differs from v7 by removing the patches dealing incorrect handling of greedy submodule URLs (those with too many leading ../'s) and those that deal with improperly normalized superproject origin URLs. These patches may resubmitted at a later date.
