Hm, I didn't see this change in the patch.

This comment still seems relevant as of this patch.

I haven't read ahead to see whether this was fixed, but it looks like
the reason we couldn't combine "update" into this arms is that "update"
consumes "wt_prefix" twice.
There's no good reason to have "--prefix" at all actually. "git
submodule update" used to use that instead of -C, and we could have
removed it once we passed -C in 29a5e9e1ff (submodule--helper
update-clone: learn --init, 2022-03-04). That simplification got lost in
the big shell -> C conversion, but we could do it quite easily right
now, e.g.
