I think what is happening is that in that bare repository 'sub',
the sequence we find where a git repository is is defined so
that the current directory is checked way after "one of my
parents with .git/ subdirectory" check.

If super (a directory) has a subproject sub as its subproject,
then you would be copying .git to sub/.git, not sub/, wouldn't
you?  What are you trying to achieve?
