unstage files

git reset HEAD

and clean index

git rm --cached -r repo1

add repo1 as a submodule, create a file .gitmodules contains below

[submodule "repo1"]
      path = repo1
      url = git://xx.com/repo1.gitt

A nested git repo will be "ignored" by default by any git add made in the enclosing repo.
Actually, as explained in "Git repository in a git repository", the parent rpeo would track the nested git repo state through a gitlink.

But you shouldn't need to ignore explicitly anything when doing your git add -A command.
