Thanks for writing these patches.
I wonder if (some of) these notes are best put into the code
as a comment such as
/* NEEDSWORK: convert to is_submodule_active */
such that people reading this code later realize that checking
for a directory may not be the "correct" thing, but a thing which
was easy to express using shell.

The value 'all' seems to be unused, i.e. we assign it but never read it?

Here may a good place to put:
/* NEEDSWORK: automatically call absorbgitdirs before warning/die. */
(It was not in the shell version, so feel free to ignore)

A bug that exists in the shell version as well as here:
What if the submodule has the name '--cached', which happens
to be a valid argument for git-rm?
The call to git-rm would die claiming that the <file> is missing,
as the file name was miss-interpreted as another flag.
To solve this problem we would insert a '--' after the options,
before the file name to state that the last argument is a <file>.
Not sure if we want to fix the bug while we're here or if we rather
want to add
/* NEEDSWORK: add '--' to confirm <file> argument */
> + if (mkdir(list_item->name, mode))
> + die(_("could not create empty submodule directory %s"),
> + displaypath);
In the shell version we used the shell mkdir, which on failure
would print the error to stderr on its own. The added "|| say"
is just to clarify the bigger picture.
mkdir in C doesn't print the actual error (e.g.
no diskspace, permissions) so we have to do it.
Use 'die_errno' instead as then the reason will be given as well.

It would be nice if the commit message could give hints as why a literal
translation was chosen here and not e.g. one of the builtin config
calls, as that would omit spawning a process.
