Re: [PATCH 4/4] submodule: submodule_move_head omits old argument in forced case

When using hard reset or forced checkout with the option to recurse into
submodules, the submodules need to be reset, too.

It turns out that we need to omit the duplicate old argument to read-tree
in all forced cases to omit the 2 way merge and use the more assertive
behavior of reading the specific new tree into the index and updating
the working tree.
The phrase "the more assertive" made me imagine something like
"reset --hard", which resurrect lost paths and also get rid of added
paths.  "reading the specific new tree into the index" smells more
like "checkout $tree-ish $paths" that has an overlay semantics, that
resurrects lost paths but does not get rid of added paths.

Perhaps not just "rm sub1/file1" but also add a new file that is not
in HEAD to ensure that it will be blown away when $command is run
to ensure that we got the distinction between the two right?
