submodules: fix of regression on fetching of non-init subsub-repo
A regression has been introduced by a62387b (submodule.c: fetch in
submodules git directory instead of in worktree, 2018-11-28).
The scenario in which it triggers is when one has a repository with a
submodule inside a submodule like this:
superproject/middle_repo/inner_repo
Person A and B have both a clone of it, while Person B is not working
with the inner_repo and thus does not have it initialized in his working
copy.
Now person A introduces a change to the inner_repo and propagates it
through the middle_repo and the superproject.
Once person A pushed the changes and person B wants to fetch them using
"git fetch" at the superproject level, B's git call will return with
error saying:
Could not access submodule 'inner_repo'
Errors during submodule fetch:
middle_repo
Expectation is that in this case the inner submodule will be recognized
as uninitialized submodule and skipped by the git fetch command.
This used to work correctly before 'a62387b (submodule.c: fetch in
submodules git directory instead of in worktree, 2018-11-28)'.
Starting with a62387b the code wants to evaluate "is_empty_dir()" inside
.git/modules for a directory only existing in the worktree, delivering
then of course wrong return value.
This patch ensures is_empty_dir() is getting the correct path of the
uninitialized submodule by concatenation of the actual worktree and the
name of the uninitialized submodule.
The first attempt to fix this regression, in 1b7ac4e6d4 (submodules:
fix of regression on fetching of non-init subsub-repo, 2020-11-12), by
simply reverting a62387b, resulted in an infinite loop of submodule
fetches in the simpler case of a recursive fetch of a superproject with
uninitialized submodules, and so this commit was reverted in 7091499bc0
(Revert "submodules: fix of regression on fetching of non-init
subsub-repo", 2020-12-02).
To prevent future breakages, also add a regression test for this
scenario.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
