Ehh, doesn't string literal concatenation work here?  I.e. something
like:

    strbuf_addstr(&gitmodules_path, "/" GITMODULES_FILE);


>>>                 if (pos < 0) { /* .gitmodules not found or isn't merged */
>>>                         pos = -1 - pos;
>>>                         if (active_nr > pos) {  /* there is a .gitmodules
>>> */

The reason you want this patch is not like we want to make it easy
to rename the file to ".gitprojects" later, right?  The patch is
about avoiding misspelled string constant, like "/.gitmdoules",
without getting caught by the compiler, no?

Assuming that I am correctly guessing the intention, I think it is a
bad idea to rename these in the comments.
