[Xcb] Are the util-common-m4 submodules relative on purpose?

Yes, it  is relative  on purpose.  There  are several reasons  for this,
such as  being easier  for developers  (you may want  to write  code for
util-common-m4 and test it in util-wm or publish your own util-common-m4
somewhere along with util, without modifying .gitsubmodules) and you may
not want to use git protocol.

Also, as Gaetan pointed out, if a developer wants to make a copy of util
repository on  people.fdo, then he  will have to copy  util-common-m4 as
well but I don't really think that's really an issue.
