Relative URLs only worked with<proto>://<host>/<location>  style URLs, and

When a submodule's URL was set to "../submodule.git", and the repository
using it was cloned from "git@example.com:repo.git", git would try to
clone the submodule from "git@example.com:repo.git/submodule.git", which
would not likely work.
   

My solution for this has been to always give the full path, possibly using ~

e.g.,     git@example.com:~/repo.git

and as that works fine, I'm indifferent to this proposed change.
