Hello,

Is it possible to avoid usage of absolute paths in information about
submodule? I'm working with same local repository from both Windows and
Linux. But unfortunately absolute paths in modules break all the sweetness,
since these paths differ from OS to OS and thus I have to keep two clones of
each repository.
Regarding absolute paths I refer to are:

In ${REPO}/.git/modules/${MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH}/config file:
[core]
   worktree =  ${FULL_REPO_PATH}/${MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH}

In ${REPO}/${MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH}/.git file:
gitdir: ${FULL_REPO_PATH}/.git/modules/${MODULE_RELATIVE_PATH}

Thanks,
Alexey
