Two other failures in this helper function gives end-user readable
message (parameter errors are greeted with usage, giving wrong path
is greeted with a die()), but this new error condition will silently
die unless config_set_in_gitmodules_file_gently() complains.
I wonder if we should give an error message in this case, too.
In any case, not calling sync after failed set_in_gitmodules is a
sensible design decision.
