[PATCH 1/2] submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths

From
Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>
Date

Message-ID

When giving relative paths to `relative_path` to compute a relative path from one directory to another, this may fail in `relative_path`. Make sure both arguments to `relative_path` are always absolute.
