When directories are moved using `git mv` all files in the directory
have been just moved, but no further action was taken on them. This
was done by assigning the mode = WORKING_DIRECTORY to the files
inside a moved directory.

submodules however need to update their link to the git directory as
well as updates to the .gitmodules file. By removing the condition of
`mode != INDEX` (the remaining modes are BOTH and WORKING_DIRECTORY) for
the required submodule actions, we perform these for submodules in a
moved directory.

Albin,
I think this would fix your problem.

Developed on origin/master (it may apply on older versions, though I did not 
test)

Thanks,
Stefan
