If you make your checkout go back in time to before the submodule
existed, git won't delete your checked out submodule - in case you
have commits there you still care about. So it'll print that warning
about unable to 'rmdir'. This should be harmless to the build process
in general though.

I'm not sure what's giving you the 'pathspec' message though ? I would
expect anything to ignore the capstone dir - its just like any other
untracked file once you go back in time before it was committed.

Daniel
