By the way, while it is a very good idea to die upon
$ git submodule deinit --all no-only-this-one
it may not be too bad if we demoted the output to "info" with clean
no-op exit when the user said
$ git submodule deinit
IOW, the latter part _might_ be better if it were
if test $# = 0 && test -z "$deinit_all"
then
echo >&2 "info: not deinitializing anything."
echo >&2 "info: Use --all to deinitialize all submodules."
exit 0
fi
given that this is really about preventing mistakes from doing mass
destruction.
