Michael,

Thanks for looking....

Your modification of my script does not show the error for me, unless I 
have *installed* a version of git with the failure: I suspect git-gui 
invokes installed components, and not what is in the build directory, so 
having a good version of git installed with the bad version in the build 
directory does not show the error. And yes, I am quite sure that all of 
the git commands I am running are from the one version.

What I expect to see is what you saw: the "sub" directory listed under 
Unstaged Changes. What I get when I have installed version 2c5c66b (or 
current master) is the file "sub/a" listed under Unstaged Changes, in 
other words git-gui no longer recognizes that sub is a submodule.
