Hello all,

I was on a plane, moving around some of the many (30ish) submodules in
my dotfiles and got really annoyed at how much work it is (move the
dir, remove old from git, add new to git, fix .gitmodules, fix
.git/config, fix all the parts of the submodule config) so I wrote a
perl script to work for the most common case.

As far as I know it should work for anyone not doing Something Weird,
ie manually fiddling with their submodules.  The main case it does not
support that I'd like to in the future is submodules containing
submodules, and also at some point I'd like to wrap git mv to invoke
this script on demand automatically.

Thanks for sharing! Form a cursory look over your perl script it
looks like it does what stock "git mv" will do since 1.8.5 (except
for changing the name of the submodule, which I would not advise
to do when only moving the submodule location in the work tree).
