I have a project organized as a number of nested git modules (not using git-submodule), and frequently use git-new-workdir to create the nested modules.
Since the above merge-commit, git-gui is confused by this arrangement and reports every file in every nested module as being an untracked file in the top-level (super) project. Prior to the above merge, git-gui properly stops recursing when finding a .git directory. git-gui also continues working correctly when the modules are full clones, it just doesn't work correctly when the .git directory contains symlinks to the real .git directory contents.
git-gui works correctly on either parent of the above merge, just not after the merge. As the merge was not clean, I guess Junio gets to decide who owns the problem :^).
Note that core git is fine up to current master, it is only git-gui that has become confused (e.g., git-status shows the top-level directory of each nested module as untracked, but does not list files in the nested modules).
