Hi!

Realizing that some of my git submodule repositories were at the wrong path, I moved the repositories and updated a workspace using "git submodule set-url ...". Checking the status I noticed that .gitmodules was not added to index (as opposed to a "git mv ..."). Is that intentional? Seen in git 2.26.2.

Regards, Ulrich Windl
