I hope this will be fixed on the git side, but I don't know when it will
be. Probably comes down to someone developing a patch.
Occurs to me that git-annex could use adjusted branches to deal with this.
When initializing in a submodule, it could enter an adjusted branch with
`git annex adjust --fix`. This way, symlinks would be re-written to point
to the submodule's git repository. The .git dotfile would not need to be
converted to a symlink at all.

@thowz great idea! And not hard at all to implement! I've done so:
`git annex adjust --fix`

# SYNOPSIS
git annex adjust --unlock`
git annex adjust --unlock|--fix`
# DESCRIPTION
@ -33,6 +33,13 @@ This command can only be used in a v6 git-annex repository.
Unlock all annexed files in the adjusted branch. This allows
annexed files to be modified.
* `--fix`
Fix the symlinks to annexed files to point to the local git annex
object directory. This can be useful if a repository is checked out in an
unusual way that prevents the symlinks committed to git from pointing at
the annex objects.
