I think the logic in git-add needs to learn about submodules. The same
warning later trigger when you later say 'git add submoduledir', even
though that obviously doesn't walk inside the submodule.

I can see that problem, but along the same lines, why shouldn't I have
an expectation that when I say 'git add "*.py"' it removes stuff that I
have removed? That's what I tried to show with the f?o example.
