Jens Lehmann ea115a0d43 submodules: always use a relative path to gitdir
Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there. When the submodule git directory needs
to be cloned because it is not found in .git/modules/<name> the clone
command will write an absolute path into the gitfile. When no clone is
necessary the git directory will be reactivated by the git-submodule.sh
script by writing a relative path into the gitfile.

This is inconsistent, as the behavior depends on the submodule having been
cloned before into the .git/modules of the superproject. A relative path
is preferable here because it allows the superproject to be moved around
without invalidating the gitfile. We do that by always writing the
relative path into the gitfile, which overwrites the absolute path the
clone command may have written there.

This is only the first step to make superprojects movable again like they
were before the separate-git-dir approach was introduced. The second step
is to use a relative path in core.worktree too.

Enhance t7400 to ensure that future versions won't re-add absolute paths
by accident.

While at it also replace an if/else construct evaluating the presence
of the 'reference' option with a single line of bash code.

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
