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 remote repository
with a subrepository inside a subrepository 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" on 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 subrepository 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 reverts the changes of
a62387b and introduces a regression
test.
