I really like the goal of this patch but would prefer that "git rm"
learns how to remove submodules instead of adding more code to the
git-submodule.sh script.
Also it shouldn't be necessary for the user to remove the directory
by hand before running "git rm". At least all files recorded in the
submodule can be removed (and if the submodule uses a gitfile that
can be removed too). Then all that is left are untracked files the
user has to decide what to do with (which might be removed too when
running "git rm --recurse-submodules=untracked").

Me thinks without -f a "git rm" should only then remove a submodule
if no local modifications exist and current HEAD is part of a remote
branch (so you can't loose unpushed commits by accident). If the
submodule uses a gitfile a local branch might be sufficient for that,
as the git directory lives on.

It should not be removed from .git/config by default. The user may
have special settings there and the presence in .git/config shows
he cared about having the submodule checked out, which should not
be revoked by just removing the submodule from the work tree.
Unless he removes the config from there himself he should get back
a populated submodule when he checks out an earlier commit and says
"git submodule update".
