I would have expected this to use 'parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, ...' since
I wouldn't expect a command-specific --prefix= parameter to affect the
interpretation of relative filenames in other parameters.

Now that I look around more, it seems that other submodule--helper subcommands
have the same strange behavior of overwriting the 'prefix' var.  So I take
back my suggestion of using a different variable --- that can be addressed in a
separate patch that deals with them all at once.

Sorry to flip-flop like this,
