Could you come up with a simple reproduction recipe that prepares a superproject that has no file of its own, a submodule with a single file tracked, and attaches another workdir? If running git-gui in the resulting directory makes it misbehave, we could then isolate what git command that is invoked by git-gui has changed its behaviour.

Thanks.
