I am not certain what exactly you meant, but this patch deals with "Old-form"
submodules. This link (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitsubmodules#_forms)
states that old-style submodules, when deinitialized or deleted, have its Git
directory automatically moved to $GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ of the
superproject. This is what this patch sets to achieve. Earlier, running deinit
on such a submodule would cause it to fail.
