<pull.1264.git.1655336146.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In 63e95beb085c (submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C, 2016-04-15), we added a loop over `url` where we are looking for `../` or `./` components.

The loop condition we used is the pointer `url` itself, which is clearly not what we wanted.

Pointed out by Coverity.
