From: Jacob Keller <jacob.kel...@gmail.com>

Currently, do_submodule_path relies on read_gitfile, which will die() if
it can't read from the specified gitfile. Unfortunately, this means that
do_submodule_path will not work when given the path to a submodule which
is checked out directly, such as a newly added submodule which you
cloned and then "git submodule add". Instead, replace the call with
resolve_gitdir. This first checks to see if we've been given a gitdir
already.

Because resolve_gitdir may return the same buffer it was passed, we have
to check for this case as well, since strbuf_reset() will not work as
expected here, and indeed is not necessary.
