`get_default_remote()` retrieves the name of a remote by resolving the refs from of the current repository's ref store. Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule, we have to start a new subprocess which runs from the submodule directory. Let's instead introduce a function called `repo_get_default_remote()` which takes any repository object and retrieves the remote accordingly. `get_default_remote()` is then defined as a call to `repo_get_default_remote()` with 'the_repository' passed to it.
