 rbm has the `git_submodule` option to include all submodules in the
 sources tarball. This option works as expected when all the submodules are
 located in the root directory, however it fails if one of the submodules
 is in a sub-directory.

 The reason is that we do this to create .tar files for all the submodules:
 {{{
             ($stdout, $stderr, $success, $exit_code)
                 = capture_exec('git', 'submodule', 'foreach',
                     "git archive --prefix=$project-$version/\$path/"
                     . " --output=$tmpdir/submodule-\$name.tar \$sha1");
 }}}

 We use the submodule name in the output filename inside a temporary
 directory, which fails when the submodule name contains `/` as it wants to
 create a file in a directory which does not exist.
