Commit caca2c1 (submodule: drop the top-level requirement) introduced a relative_path helper but does not quote $curdir when it is stripped from the front of a target path. In this particular case this should be safe even with special characters because we only do this after checking that $target begins with "$curdir/" which is quoted correctly, but we should quote the variable to be certain that there is not some obscure case where we this could strip more or less than we want.
