"git submodule add" worked fine with most of the following names:

     "sub"
     # potentially confusing the shell
     "sub with blanks",
     "sub with\nnewline",
     "sub with'single quote",
     "sub with\"double quote",
     "sub with\\backslash",
     "sub with\bbackspace",
     "sub with\thorizontal tab",
     # potentially confusing git's configuration format
     "sub with #",
     "sub with ="

(That's Python 3 literals in case somebody is wondering. I'm using 
Python to unit test a shell script, just so I can catch this sort of 
stuff...)
