I've reworded the above like so while queuing.

    "git submodule update --init --recursive" uses full path to refer to
    the true location of the repository in the "gitdir:" pointer for
    nested submodules; the command used to use relative paths.

    This was reported by Norio Nomura in $gmane/290280.

    The root cause for that bug is in using recursive submodules as
    their relative path handling was broken in ee8838d (2015-09-08,
    submodule: rewrite `module_clone` shell function in C).

Thanks.
