The submodule name starts out the same as the submodule path, but the
name stays constant through submodule moves, replacements, etc. The
constant name is useful because out-of-tree configuration (e.g. stuff
in .git/config and .git/modules/) won't have to adjust to submodule
renames (except for core.worktree in .git/modules/*/config).
