This patch started as a refactoring to make 'get_next_submodule' more
readable, but upon doing so, I realized that "git fetch" of the submodule
actually doesn't need to be run in the submodules worktree. So let's run
it in its git dir instead.

That should pave the way towards fetching submodules that are currently
not checked out.
