Coverity complains about "sub" being NULL here, and indeed, it seems
like an easy segfault:

  $ ./git submodule--helper remote-branch foo
  Segmentation fault

I guess this should return NULL in that case. But then this...

would need to handle the NULL return, as well. So maybe "master" or the
empty string would be better. I haven't followed the topic closely
enough to have an opinion.
