No, the absorbed would also be handled by repo_submodule_init.
I wrote a patch once to migrate repo_submodule_init to take a
"struct *submodule" instead of a path as the third argument, which
would fall in line with this patch as well, I'll dig it up.

Historically git-fetch supported repositories that are not submodules
(but have a gitlink and a working tree in place) as well. That is covered
here. (see comment /* no entry in .gitmodules? */)

Thanks.
