If we give filenames and pathspecs relative to the prefix in a submodule,
the filename is not recognized by the superproject which would produce an
error at the superproject. Monkey-testing locally here supports my suspicion
and it is not possible to do things like
git submodule status path/inside/submodule
so if that is already not working, we should not expect to have
git -C subdir submodule status ../path/inside/submodule
working.
