Do you really remove the whole directory? Because if you do, you remove more than what can be possibly reconstructed from the object store. That is much more dangerous than what "git rm" does. For example, you can have local branches, remote settings, untracked files, etc. in the subdirectory. And that cannot be recovered once deleted. I wonder if it really makes sense to integrate that into git-rm, and not git-submodule, if only to introduce another level of consideration for the user before committing what is potentially a big mistake.
