A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
been corrected.
* sb/submodule-helper-clone-regression-fix:
submodule--helper, module_clone: catch fprintf failure
submodule--helper: do not borrow absolute_path() result for too long
submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths
submodule--helper clone: create the submodule path just once
submodule--helper: fix potential NULL-dereference
recursive submodules: test for relative paths
The return value of fprintf is unchecked, which may lead to
unreported errors. Use fprintf_or_die to report the error to the user.

absolute_path() is designed to allow its callers to take a brief
peek of the result (typically, to be fed to functions like
strbuf_add() and relative_path() as a parameter) without having to
worry about freeing it, but the other side of the coin of that
memory model is that the caller shouldn't rely too much on the
result living forever--there may be a helper function the caller
subsequently calls that makes its own call to absolute_path(),
invalidating the earlier result.
Use xstrdup() to make our own copy, and free(3) it when we are done.
While at it, remove an unnecessary sm_gitdir_rel variable that was
only used to as a parameter to call absolute_path() and never used
again.

When giving relative paths to `relative_path` to compute a relative path
from one directory to another, this may fail in `relative_path`.
Make sure both arguments to `relative_path` are always absolute.

We make sure that the parent directory of path exists (or create it
otherwise) and then do the same for path + "/.git".
That is equivalent to just making sure that the parent directory of
path + "/.git" exists (or create it otherwise).

Don't dereference NULL 'path' if it was never assigned. Also
protect against an empty --path argument.

This regression was introduced in 74703a1e4d (submodule: rewrite
`module_list` shell function in C, 2015-09-02), as we changed the
order of checking in new module listing to first check whether it is
a gitlin before feeding it to match_pathspec(). It used to be that
a pathspec that does not match any path were diagnosed as an error,
but the new code complains for a pathspec that does not match any
submodule path.
Arguably the new behaviour may give us a better diagnosis, but that
is inconsistent with the suggestion "deinit" gives, and also this
was an unintended accident. The new behaviour hopefully can be
redesigned and implemented better in future releases, but for now,
switch these two checks to restore the same behavior as before. In
an empty repository, giving the pathspec '.' will still get the same
"did not match" error, but that is the same bug we had before 1.7.0.

This is a regression introduced by 74703a1e4d (submodule: rewrite
`module_list` shell function in C, 2015-09-02).
Add a test to ensure we list the right submodule when giving a
specific pathspec.

This reimplements the helper function `module_clone` in shell
in C as `clone`. This functionality is needed for converting
`git submodule update` later on, which we want to add threading
to.

This implements the helper `name` in C instead of shell,
yielding a nice performance boost.
Before this patch, I measured a time (best out of three):
$ time ./t7400-submodule-basic.sh >/dev/null
real 0m11.066s
user 0m3.348s
sys 0m8.534s
With this patch applied I measured (also best out of three)
$ time ./t7400-submodule-basic.sh >/dev/null
real 0m10.063s

Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules.
Calculating and using this set is usually done via:
module_list "$@" | {
while read mode sha1 stage sm_path
do
# the actual operation
done
}
Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the
git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script.
The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be
easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C.
git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate
to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the
subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from
within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated
to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative
to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh.
That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative
path which to anchor relative path arguments.
