Per the man-page,
    git submodule [--quiet] add [-b branch] [--] <repository> [<path>]

which means, that the *repository* url is mandatory, the path is 
optional. What you specifically asked git-submodule to do was to *clone* 
from dir0/dir1/init, and because you gave no path to put the submodule 
in, git-submodule deduced the name as "init", and cloned to there.
