'git mv' doesn't move submodule if it's in a subdirectory

I've a submodule located in a subdirectory ({git_rep}/home/{directory}/{submodule}), and I wanted to move the whole directory up a level ({git_rep}/{directory}/{submodule}). But when I used 'git mv {directory} ../' the '.gitmodule' file didn't get modified.

Best regards, Albin Otterhäll
