I'm resubmitting this patch series, hopefully someone takes notice this time.

The GUI cannot currently open a submodule because it fails to recognize the git link file (regular .git file with content "gitdir: ...").

Previous thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/263199

I'm really not sure if/how git-gui is maintained but I do hope somebody cares about this component, that is still AFAIK distributed with Git.
