Hi,

when using 
git submodule foreach —recursive [..] 
$sm_path contains only the relative part of the latest recursion. Since the command has no generic way of knowing from which recursion level it is executed any $sm_path of deeper recursion level is useless unless there is a way for the command to find out from which recursion it is called.

I suggest $sm_path should be extended to be relative to the repo from where the submodule recursion started or another variable should contain the recursive part.

Viele Grüße/Cheers,
Hagen.
