Thanks for digging. Strictly speaking, I think this was not even a transition (rather, there was no way to give a submodule a name that is different from its path). In any version of git whose git-submodule.sh has module_name helper function, the path and the name were conceptually two different things, and we should have been using the name, not path, throughout. > ...
