Fixes #7992
This PR is a re-application of @francis-starlab 's !9592 , so all credits go to him
GIt allows submodules to have relative URLs, but cargo does not handle this correctly, and simply fails to update submodules as described in issue #7992. This PR fixes that by passing in the parent git repo url to
update_submodules
.Original fix fails on Windows due to collision of
std::fs::canonicalize
and URL paths obtained fromfiles://
schema, specifically paths like/C:/...
which are obviously deemed incorrect. Will look for solution and post it soon.
