have you ever thought about the idea that the location may be an
important thing to consider for your decision.

Perhaps the submodule is now used for something else (this is why it was
moved) and that now you'd like to keep it?

Anyway, you can just create several supermodules or implement generic
partial tree support for git.  I do not see any reason to special case
submodules here.
