This variable was last used in code removed way back in 45781adb9a ("get_remote_url(): use the same data source as ls-remote to get remote urls", 2011-03-01). Since it's only used in git-submodule.sh it could have been the case that the code there relied on us setting $GIT_DIR, but that's not the case. The only use of $GIT_DIR in git-submodule.sh involves a $GIT_DIR variable that the code there sets by itself.
