Please have a comment here what this function expects (e.g. it is
called after we ran repository discovery and $cwd is at the root of
the working tree of the current project, we _know_ we have a working
tree, etc.).

Hmph.  I would have expected that "/../" would be the same as "/".

So, the idea is we start at the root level of the current project's
working tree, and we go up one level, then we know the last component
of the path our submodule is bound at in the superproject.

This would ask our superproject what is at the "dirname" in its
HEAD.  Two possible issues:

 - Shouldn't that be looking at its index instead?  It would be more
   correct for unborn branch case, and new or moved submodule case.

 - If our submodule is bound at path sub/dir in the superproject,
   the relative-path thing above would get "dir" and this ls-tree
   ends up asking what is at "dir", but the question you really want
   to ask is what is at "sub/dir", isn't it?

const char *get_superproject_working_tree(void)
