"git submodule update --init --recursive" uses full path to refer to the true location of the repository in the "gitdir:" pointer for nested submodules; the command used to use relative paths. This was reported by Norio Nomura in $gmane/290280. The root cause for that bug is in using recursive submodules as their relative path handling was broken in ee8838d (2015-09-08, submodule: rewrite `module_clone` shell function in C).
