Redo the prep work, the clone and now

git submodule add dir0/dir1/init

(i.e. don't expect dir0/dir1/init to be the clone of ./init, that was just a
shortcut for the test. Expect it to be a clone of "something, somewhere")

Per the man-page,
   git submodule [--quiet] add [-b branch] [--] <repository> [<path>]

which means, that the *repository* url is mandatory, the path is optional. What you specifically asked git-submodule to do was to *clone* from dir0/dir1/init, and because you gave no path to put the submodule in, git-submodule deduced the name as "init", and cloned to there.
