(I glanced briefly through the code and SUBMODULE_MOVE_HEAD_FORCE might have no effect anyway if "old" is NULL, but it's probably still better to be consistent.)

(Or if it is not, maybe the subject should be "entry, unpack-trees: propagate force when submodule recursing" or something like that, containing the names of both modified components.)
Also, you mentioned in the parent message that this patch is required for patch 3. Is only the entry.c part required, or unpack-trees.c, or both?
