Many "git submodule" operations do not work on a submodule at a path whose name is not in ASCII. This is because "git ls-files" is used to find which paths are bound to submodules to the current working tree, and the output is C-quoted by default for non ASCII pathnames and pathnames that has a double-quote, a backslash or a control character like a newline or a tab in thme. Tell "git ls-files" to not C-quote its output, which is easier than unwrapping C-quote ourselves. This patch still does not allow pathnames with characters that do need C-quote, but the code didn't handle them before, so it is not making things worse. The correct approach to solve the problem for all pathnames may be to use "ls-files -z" and tell the Perl script that reads its output to read NUL separated records by using $/ = "\0".
