Start passing the "super_prefix" along as a parameter to
get_submodule_displaypath() and absorb_git_dir_into_superproject(),
rather than get the value directly as a global.
This is in preparation for subsequent commits, where we'll gradually
phase out get_super_prefix() for an alternative way of getting the
"super_prefix".
Most of the users of this get a get_super_prefix() value, either
directly or by indirection. The exceptions are:
- builtin/rm.c: Doesn't declare SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX, so we'd have
died if this was provided, so it's safe to pass "NULL".
- deinit_submodule(): The "deinit_submodule()" function has never been
able to use the "git -super-prefix". It will call
"absorb_git_dir_into_superproject()", but it will only do so from the
top-level project.
If "absorbgitdirs" recurses will use the "path" passed to
"absorb_git_dir_into_superproject()" in "deinit_submodule()" as its
starting "--super-prefix". So we can safely remove the
get_super_prefix() call here, and pass NULL instead.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
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):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
