The URL is nice supplemental info as footnote, but please write log

In this case, it wouldn't be so hard, I think, perhaps like:

	Many "git submodule" operations do not work on a submodule
	at a path whose name is not in ASCII.

	This is because "git ls-files" is used to find which paths
	are bound to submodules to the current working tree, and the
	output is C-quoted by default for non ASCII pathnames.

	Read from "git ls-files -z" instead, which is easier than
	unwrapping C-quote ourselves.

or something.

 module_list()
 {
 	(
-		git ls-files --error-unmatch --stage -- "$@" ||
+		git ls-files --error-unmatch --stage -z -- "$@" ||
 		echo "unmatched pathspec exists"
 	) |
+	sed -e 's/\x00/\n/g' |

It is strange to preprosess input to be read by a Perl script with
sed ;-)

How about doing it this way instead?  Does the result pass your
test?
