Based on your example above, it seems like is_dir() should work well
in a submodule setup.

My particular submodule setup looks essentially like:

/content/
/index.php
/wp (submodule)
/wp-config.php
/.git/

Which should meet the pattern you gave above.

Based on what I have seen, the above submodule setup is a standard way
of doing it. Seems like is_dir() would work perfectly. :)
