I was involved with this code (the gitdir setup code, not submodule)
and am interested to know what's going on too. Could you produce a
small script to reproduce it?

Here's your reduced testcase. Just point mygit to a HEAD build.

  #!/bin/sh

  mygit=~/src/git/git
  cd /tmp
  $mygit clone https://github.com/artagnon/clayoven
  cd clayoven
  $mygit submodule add https://github.com/lewang/flx .elisp/flx
  $mygit commit -a -m "Added submodule"
  cd /tmp
  ln -s clayoven/.elisp
  cd .elisp/flx
  EDITOR="emacs -Q" git commit --amend

The keypoint is that you set GIT_EDITOR to "emacs -Q". Last night
I can not reproduce the bug, because I use vim as the editor.
Vim as a editor may call realpath before open file.

I change the EDITOR(GIT_EDITOR) environment in your test script
as follows:

    GIT_EDITOR="echo PWD: $(pwd); echo REALPATH: $(pwd -P); echo" \
    git commit --amend

And the result is :

    PWD: /tmp/.elisp/flx
    REALPATH: /private/tmp/clayoven/.elisp/flx
    ../../.git/modules/.elisp/flx/COMMIT_EDITMSG

How to fix this bug, I have no idea now.
