How does this work when you are a toplevel developer and do not have the submodule cloned and checked out? Our code should treat having the submodule directory and not having it when there is a mode 160000 entry in the index equally likely. Cloning and checking-out is _not_ the norm (nor the exception).

When submodule is not cheched out, it is never modified. In this case modules variable will be empty ( since git diff --cached is used) and the corrosponding module directory will not be checked. So the output will be the same as the original output. -- franky
