Thanks. I take it than an example of such a shell is dash?
BTW: the next iteration is more of a re-write than a re-roll because I
noticed some other issues (e.g. preventing git://hostname/repo being
silently transformed to git://subrepo in the case of a pathological
use of a submodule URL of the form ../../subrepo) and fixing this
required a change that required a more extensive suite of tests.
