I think modyfying the git-submodule.sh will be better for me. So I looked into it and first problem araised: How do I get a name of submodule with a name of a previous submodule? Maybe I will start with how my repository looks like:

Main
 |
 --> sub1
 |     |
 |     --> nsub1
 |     |
 |     --> nsub2
 |     |
 |     --> nsub3
 |     |
 |     --> etc.     
 |
 --> sub2
 |     |
 |     --> nsub2 (no nsub1)
 |     |
 |     --> nsub3
 |     |
 |     --> nsub4
 |
 --> sub3
 |     |
 |     --> nsub1
 |     |
 |     --> nsub3 (no nsub2)
 |     |
 |     --> nsub4
 |
 etc.

It would be nice if I could get name like this sub1/nsub1 when I am in submodule sub1. Right now, I can get submodule name: nsub1. I tried to find some commands to get something like this, but could not find it.

If I can get that, I will be in home. Do You know how to do it? BTW. thanks for previous suggestion.
