Re: [PATCH] submodule: add config for where gitdirs are located

Introduce the config "submodule.<name>.gitdirpath" which is used to
indicate where a submodule's gitdir is located inside of a repository's
"modules" directory.

Maybe something like this on top?  Do you think we should disallow
"../" in this config, even though it is a repository local
configuration and not shipped in .gitmodules?

Sounds sensible to start strict and loosen later if/when necessary.

If we disallow "../", shouldn't we also reject an absolute path
(meaning, you can only specify a subdirectory of $GIT_DIR/modules/
in the super-project)?
