[PATCH 0/7] Fix path bugs in submodule commands executed from sub dir [WAS: submodule--helper clone: lose the extra prefix option]

Junio wrote:

So for now I present test coverage and their minimal fixes. This series follows a "tick-tock" pattern except for patch5, which I wrote quickly as I was annoying by the bells and whistles. I expect test code to be dumb, not tricking ourselves by "smart" code there.

The "tick" patches introduce failing tests. They need to fail to demonstrate the bugs exist, which are fixed in the "tock" patches, which are doing nothing fancy but just a one or two line correction of the path handling code.

This applies to 2.8.

As this is taking a completely different turn than I expected in "[PATCHv3 0/5] submodule helper: cleanup prefix passing", I made this a new series. (It also doesn't do cleanup any more, but just fixes bugs.)

Thanks, Stefan
