You have to adapt the line minimally: As is, it will possibly catch the wrong names, and it does not _move_ the directory, but rather _copy_ it. So I think something like git-ls-files -s | sed "s-\t-&newsubdir/-" | GIT_INDEX_FILE="$GIT_INDEX_FILE".new git-update-index --index-info && mv "$GIT_INDEX_FILE".new "$GIT_INDEX_FILE" is needed.
