No support for submodules

[oferei]

I have a git submodule within my git project. When I open a submodule file in Sublime I see plus signs beside all the lines, as if the entire content is newly added.

and thanks for this plugin! ^__^

I'm working with submodule on a daily basis and it works for me.

I assume that if you manually navigate to the submodule's directory and invoke git diff then you don't see those being shown as added? If so, is it possible that GitGutter is using different installation of git than your terminal and one of them has this problem? I've seen issues with submodule support in various apps depending on used git (for example msysgit versus cygwin).

Please at least state your OS and git version.

You assume right - git diff shows no differences.
I'm using macOS Sierra (v10.12.1) and git version 2.9.3 (Apple Git-75).

Is it reproducible for you on any public repo, so that I could try it locally? It works with the submodule for me in my repo.
Tried using both git 2.9.1 and git 2.7.4 (Apple Git-66).

Created brand new projects, both on GitHub and BitBucket, but could not reproduce - worked as expected. So it's some problem with my repo.

This issue may be caused by some versions of git itself. Some git commands randomly fail, if git is not called from within the working tree, but this is exactly what GitGutter does.

I prepared a fix to run all git commands from within the working tree, which is published as soon as all required PRs are accepted.

Should work with GitGutter 1.5.0. Same as with work-tree support. Please check.

It works with 1.5.0! (^O^)／
