I'd propose to drop these two steps:
updating super-repository's submodule name
moving super-repository's submodule repository
Changing the name makes the moved submodule a completely new entity and will
lead to a reclone of the repository as soon as recursive checkout materializes.
And Trevor already mentioned the long term solution which is to teach "git mv"
to do all that, which is next on my list.
