Hmm, I have no objections against the intention of the patch. But
as I understand it this message will reoccur when the user e.g.
edits the .gitmodules file later with any editor who just writes
lfs and adds it.

I don't know terribly much about crlf support but maybe flagging
the .gitmodules file in .gitattributes would be a better solution
here? Opinions?
