When adding a new submodule it can happen that .git/modules/<name> already
contains a submodule repo, e.g. when a submodule is removed from the work
tree and another submodule is added at the same path. But then the work
tree of the submodule will be populated using the existing repository and
not the one the user provided.
Error out in that case and tell the user she should use a different name
for the submodule with the "--name" option to avoid this problem. In one
test in t7406 the --name option had to be added to "git submodule add", as
that test re-adds a formerly removed submodule.
