submodule: require the submodule path to contain directories only
Submodules are stored in subdirectories of their superproject. When these subdirectories have been replaced with symlinks by a malicious actor, all kinds of mayhem can be caused. This _should_ not be possible, but many CVEs in the past showed that _when_ possible, it allows attackers to slip in code that gets executed during, say, a `git clone --recursive` operation. Let's add some defense-in-depth to disallow submodule paths to have anything except directories in them. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
