I _think_ the "git rm" is one of the things on Jens's roadmap.  Also
I think "reset --hard" these days does know what to do when you do
not have any history yet.

Hmm, "git rm" does remove submodules since 1.8.1 (but they have to be
cloned with Git 1.7.8 or newer). Or is there something special about
the orphan checkout I'm missing here?
