[PATCH 5/5] ls-files: fix bug when recuring with relative pathspec

From
BWBrandon Williams <bmwill@google.com>
Date
Feb 24, 2017, 23:51 UTC
Message-ID
<20170224235100.52627-6-bmwill@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<20170224235100.52627-1-bmwill@google.com>

Fix a bug which causes a child process for a submodule to error out when a relative pathspec with a ".." is provided in the superproject.

While at it, correctly construct the super-prefix to be used in a submodule when not at the root of the repository.
