Oh, if it does the creation of directory and adjusting of .git
gitfile, and handles other anomalies, I have no problem with it.

It was just that this codepath tried to handle some kind of anomaly
(namely, the user originally thought the submodule needs to be
changed to a regular file and then changed mind and wants to restore
it from the index) and yet not doing the full anomaly handling (like
"not even an empty directory exists" case) that confused me.
