My version of git (1.8.5.2) seems to do everything with just 'git rm'.
Although I didn't see any mention in the change log.

This is a fairly new feature (1.8.3), but not actually required in
this case because the module hasn't been initialised. In older
versions it can be done manually by removing the module's entry from
'.git/config'. 'git rm' is required though, to remove the submodule
entry in the index.

It's a little different, but in the past I've used this process:

It's at the bottom of the page.
