About the .gitmodules file

Hi All,

I need a help in order to parse the .gitmodules file generated on
"git-submodule add". An entry for a submodule in that file looks like:

    [submodule "a"]
            path = a
            url = /home/imyousuf/projects/git-projs/smart-sip/submodules/a/.git

I want to parse this file to know the location of my module so that
when I got git-commit on the parent project my script will also
traverse the submodule hierarchy. I wanted to know whether path = a
noted the relative path from the current directory or not.

Thanks in advance,

that means:  the submodule is under /root_of_the_repo/a/ and the repo
should be cloned from $url (to a/) when one clones the parent repo and
runs git submodule init
