Failed assertion in pathspec.c

Failed assertion in pathspec.c

[Sami Boukortt]

Hi,

I can reliably trigger a failed assertion in Git 2.4.3 by performing
the following steps:

mkdir a; cd a
git init
touch a.txt
git add a.txt
git commit -m 'a'
cd ..

mkdir b; cd b
git init
git submodule add ../a
cd a
rm -fr .git
git add .

This results in:
git: pathspec.c:317: prefix_pathspec: Assertion `item->nowildcard_len
<= item->len && item->prefix <= item->len' failed.

Known issue, but no one stepped up to fix it yet

No, it's actually good. It reminded me about this bug again. Maybe
I'll do something about it :)
