True I did not realize this when reading it the first time. But I think
we should still not die when in a subdirectory. After all this series is
trying to archive that the submodule command works in subdirectories
seamlessly right? So you probably want to translate a relative path
without "origin" remote given from a subdirectory to the superproject
level and use that. Then you do not have to die.
