Of course; however, as of yet it's coping admirably. I think that it's mainly because submodules are, for external-to-git purposes, displayed as patches to a file.

That means that qgit is showing the initial addition of a submodule as the addition of a file (which nicely shows up green in the file list), and the patch itself as:

diff --git a/submodule b/submodule
new file mode 160000
index 0000000..f806cbe
--- /dev/null
+++ b/submodule
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+Subproject commit f806cbe233f4568611be37213c266013b692db19

I'll certainly keep my eyes open.  As I say though: no worries yet.
