[PATCH 03/13] submodule--helper: introduce get_default_remote_submodule()

From: Atharva Raykar <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-07 12:00:05
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Before 8ef1d2b549 (submodule--helper: get remote names from any
repository, 2021-07-20), it was not possible to directly retrieve a
submodule's remote name within the same process, because
`get_default_remote()` used only knew about the current repository.

Now that we have `repo_get_default_remote()`, we no longer have to start
a subprocess that called `submodule--helper get-default-remote` from
within the submodule directory.

Let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.

We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in the next patch, which will require this
functionality.
