The "path" is assumed to be _always_ relative to work tree?

I am wondering if it would be prudent to have an assert for that
before doing this, just like I suggested assert(path) for [2/4]
earlier [*1*].

On the other hand, if we allow path to be absolute, this would need
to become something like:

        if (is_absolute_path(path))
                strbuf_addstr(&abs_path, path);
        else
                strbuf_addf(&abs_path, "%s/%s", get_git_work_tree(), path);

It seems that the abs_path computation is not needed at all if
sm_gitdir is relative to begin with.  I wonder if the code gets
easier to read and can avoid unnecessary strbuf manipulation
if this entire hunk is structured more like so:

        if (is_absolute_path(sm_gitdir)) {
                ...
        } else {
                ...
        }
        fprintf(submodule_dot_git, "gitdir: %s\n",
                relative_path(sm_gitdir, base_path, &rel_path));

>               die(_("could not close file %s"), sb.buf);

[Footnote]

*1* BTW, I tightened the assert for 2/4 to "assert(path && *path)"
to match the assumption in its log message, i.e. "The calling shell
code makes sure that path is non-NULL and non empty".
