If there is not already a .gitmodules file, attempting to add a submodule through GitPython produces an IOError.

Creating the first submodule is a perfectly normal operation, and as such should not be considered an error - the .gitmodules file should just be created.

Dies out for me with:

IOError: /projects/somerepo/.gitmodules file was not accessible

A workaround is to create the .gitmodules file before invoking Repo.create_submodule():

open(os.path.join(parent_path, '.gitmodules'), 'a').close()

For some reason, the new submodule test still broke on py3
b259098 
Adjusted code to not check for .gitmodules existence anymore, we will
deal with it.

Fixes #117
