I totally agree. Paths and names of submodules are often confused
(especially as they are identical for a submodule that was never
moved), so cleaning up our sources so they use the correct term is
The Right Thing.

But we'll have to use sm_path here (like everywhere else in the
submodule script), because we'll run into problems under Windows
otherwise (see 64394e3ae9 for details). Apart from that the patch
is fine.
