This was an oversight when working on the working tree modifying commands recursing into submodules. To test for uninitialized submodules, introduce another submodule "uninitialized_sub". Adding it via `submodule add` will activate the submodule in the preparation area (in create_lib_submodule_repo we setup all the things in submodule_update_repo), but the later tests will use a new testing repo that clones the preparation repo in which the new submodule is not initialized. By adding it to the branch "add_sub1", which is the starting point of all other branches, we have wide coverage.
