As we all know, git provides `submodule add , init, update, sync, sumary, foreach, status`, but where is `submodule remove`?

will
 I not delete one of them sometime in the future? Although most people 
will not use submodule or one who uses it can remove submodule by hand, providing complete options may be a good idea.

I am not familiar with C, but i can help test it. will anyone finish this feature?

Is assume either "git rm <submodule>" (available since 1.8.1) or the upcoming "git submodule deinit" (currently in pu) will do what you want?

Hi Jens,
    `git rm -r submodule` will not do the same thing, i do NOT know if `git submodule deinit`, i will have some tests.
