[PATCH] git-submodules.sh: fix '/././' path normalization

From

When we add a new submodule the path of the submodule is being normalized. We fail to normalize multiple adjacent '/./', though. Thus 'path/to/././submodule' will become 'path/to/./submodule' where it should be 'path/to/submodule' instead.
