init-upstream does not work with .git as a gitfile, as produced by newer versions of Git #12

When the submodule .git is really a gitfile referring to the super-repo .git/modules/... directory, git-module init-upstream gives the error "not a directory" when trying to access submodule/.git/refs. The code should be modified to use git to do whatever it is trying to do, or follow the gitfile.

It should be possible to fix this by using 'git rev-parse --git-dir' to find the real .git directory rather than constructing the path ourselves.
