[PATCH] t7406: submodule.<name>.update command must not be run from .gitmodules

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

submodule.<name>.update can be assigned an arbitrary command via setting
it to "!command". When this command is found in the regular config, Git
ought to just run that command instead of other update mechanisms.

However if that command is just found in the .gitmodules file, it is
potentially untrusted, which is why we do not run it.  Add a test
confirming the behavior.

This test for a missing file is certainly a remnant from the
previous iteration, isn't it?
Yes. This is a good indicator I need some vacation.

Thanks,
Stefan
