[BUG] can't switch branches with submodules

I have two branches: master and gh-pages.  master has one submodule
called foo that gh-pages doesn't.  When I try to check out gh-pages
from master:

    warning: unable to rmdir foo: Directory not empty

And the foo directory exists in my worktree.  This is very annoying,
and I want to fix it now.  Where is this error coming from?  How does
the worktree get updated when I checkout?

You may want to look at the pending Great Submodule Integration

I´m currently working on teaching mv to move submodules and intend
to send those patches to the list after finishing submodule deinit.
