Commit 842abf0 (Teach resolve_gitlink_ref() about the .git file, 2008-02-20)
taught resolve_gitlink_ref() to call read_gitfile_gently() to resolve .git
files. In this commit teach read_gitfile_gently() to interpret a relative
path in a .git file with respect to the file location.
This change allows update-index to recognize a submodule that uses a relative
path in its .git file. It previously failed because the relative path was
wrongly interpreted with respect to the superproject directory.

Check that update-index recognizes a submodule that uses a .git file.
Currently it works when the .git file specifies an absolute path, but
not when it specifies a relative path.
