Hello!

git show dose not work with file-submodule. Try this series of commands:

cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/abdes/submodule-docker-dev-workflow.git
cd submodule-docker-dev-workflow
git show ee83dd336f27315d14a7ad6ad934897a61e49623:LICENSE | head -n 1 # 
good
git show ee83dd336f27315d14a7ad6ad934897a61e49623:server # bad

My output:

$ cd /tmp/
$ git clone https://github.com/abdes/submodule-docker-dev-workflow.git
Клонирование в «submodule-docker-dev-workflow»…
remote: Enumerating objects: 110, done.
remote: Total 110 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 110
Получение объектов: 100% (110/110), 24.76 KiB | 313.00 KiB/s, готово.
Определение изменений: 100% (56/56), готово.
$ cd submodule-docker-dev-workflow
$ git show ee83dd336f27315d14a7ad6ad934897a61e49623:LICENSE | head -n 1 
# good

$ git show ee83dd336f27315d14a7ad6ad934897a61e49623:server # bad
fatal: bad object ee83dd336f27315d14a7ad6ad934897a61e49623:server

It would be convenient for me so that I could see the revision of the 
submodule through git show. Without using the git submodule status command.

Happy New Year,
Mikhail Pavlovich Sidorenko.

I can reproduce that behavior, and it happens even if the submodules
are initialized (`git submodule update --init`, or `git clone --recurse-submodules`).

Note that `git rev-parse ee83dd336f27315d14a7ad6ad934897a61e49623:server`
does work.
