OK, let's do this.  I'd like you to take the authorship of it (and
correct any mistake I may have made in the description) with your
sign-off.

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "submodules: fix ambiguous absolute paths under Windows"

This reverts commit 4dce7d9b408b2935b85721b54a2010eda7ec1be9,
which was originally done to help Windows but was almost
immediately reverted in msysGit, and the codebase kept this
unnecessary divergence for almost two years.
