Re: Bug report: git reset --hard does not fix submodule worktree

> Hello, Git folks. I managed to accidentally break the our test lab by attempting to git mv a directory with a submodule inside. It seems like if a reset does an undo on a mv, the workfold entry should be fixed to put the submodule in its old location. Consider the following sequence of commands:
>
> Setup a git repo with a submodule:
> mkdir metaproject
> mkdir upstream
> cd metaproject
> git init
> cd ..\upstream
> git init
> echo hello > test.txt
> git add -A
> git commit -m "an example commit"
> cd ..\metapoject
> mkdir start
> git submodule add ../upstream start/upstream
> git add -A
> git commit -m "Add submodule in start/upstream."
>
> Move the directory containing the submodule:
> git mv start target
> git add -A
> git commit -m "Moved submodule parent directory."
