[PATCH v6 4/5] submodule: record superproject gitdir during 'update'

From
Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20211117005701.371808-5-emilyshaffer@google.com>

A recorded path to the superproject's gitdir might be added during 'git submodule add', but in some cases - like submodules which were created before 'git submodule add' learned to record that info - it might be useful to update the hint. Let's do it during 'git submodule update', when we already have a handle to the superproject while calling operations on the submodules.
