Hello,

I encountered this error when moving some submodules in vim, basically if you have a submodule that has submodules inside it and you try to move it you'll encouter a fatal error with `git status`. I have a pastebin example of this here: https://ptpb.pw/5g9-/bash

Appologies if this is an invalid bug report.

I'm running Git version: 2.16.2 (Debian Unstable)
