This patch fixes git submodule add behaviour when we add submodule living at a same path as logical name of existing submodule. This can happen e.g. in case the user git mv's the previous submodule away and then git submodule add's another under the same name. A test-case is obviously included. This is not completely satisfactory since .git/config cross-commit conflicts can still occur. A question is whether this is worth handling, maybe it would be worth adding some kind of randomization of the autogenerated submodule name, e.g. appending $$ or a timestamp.
