Thanks both.  Perhaps we should do something like this?

Subject: builtin/rm.c: consolidate error reporting for removing submodules

We have two (not identical) copies of error reporting when
attempting to remove submodules that have their repositories
embedded within them.  Add a helper function so that we do not have
to repeat similar error messages with subtly different wording
without a good reason.

Noticed by Jiang Xin.
