Hmm, actually, the above change wasn't the original culprit (as I thought), but
a different instance of the same fault. :-D

I've lost track of which version is now in 'pu' (currently @ 45a4edc "Merge branch
'sb/submodule-init' into pu"), but sparse is still warning:

      SP submodule.c
  submodule.c:256:43: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

So, the fix looks like:

  diff --git a/submodule.c b/submodule.c
  index 5d1238a..4cc1c27 100644
  --- a/submodule.c
  +++ b/submodule.c
  @@ -253,7 +253,7 @@ const char *submodule_strategy_to_string(const struct submodule_update_strategy
                  return NULL;
          case SM_UPDATE_COMMAND:
                  strbuf_addf(&sb, "!%s", s->command);
  -               return strbuf_detach(&sb, 0);
  +               return strbuf_detach(&sb, NULL);
          }
          return NULL;
   }

Also, I note that t7406-submodule-update.sh test #4 is failing.
(looks like absolute vs relative paths)
