I found that this is not true for git modules, which can be very
annoying; see https://stackoverflow.com/a/11298947/946226 [...]

This is only true for repos created with ancient Git versions. With newer versions (>= 1.7.10) there is no problem, see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17568543/git-add-doesnt-work/17747571#17747571.
