GL bug: can not commit, reports error on changed submodule directory

GL bug: can not commit, reports error on changed submodule directory

[ern0]

When I say:
 $ gl commit -m "blah blah"
It reports:
 ✘ Failed to read file into stream: Is a directory

Reason: I have a submodule which has changes.

 $ git status
 On branch develop
 Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/develop'.
 Changes not staged for commit:
   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

         modified:   remoting (new commits)

 no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Workaround: I should sync the directory...

 $ cd remoting
 $ git commit -am "yada"
 $ cd ..
 $ git commit -am "yada yada"
 $ git push
 $ echo I feel clean now
 $ echo "# wow" >> test.py
 $ gl commit -m "added wow"

...and it works again.

Not that I am interested in learning the answer to the question, but
what the h*ck is "gl"?
