[PATCH v3 1/5] Teach mv to move submodules together with their work trees

Currently the attempt to use "git mv" on a submodule errors out with:
  fatal: source directory is empty, source=<src>, destination=<dest>
The reason is that mv searches for the submodule with a trailing slash in
the index, which it doesn't find (because it is stored without a trailing
slash). As it doesn't find any index entries inside the submodule it
claims the directory would be empty even though it isn't.
