Description
**Describe the bug**
I have several submodules in my project. For some submodules, `gitui` keeps listing "M" modifications. When looking at the change, it shows: `size: 0 B -> 0 B (+0 B)`. When I check with `git status`, there is nothing listed as modified.
Also, when I check the Submodules in `gitui`, all the submodules that are listed as modified have the following info:
> Commit:
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
This contradicts the information shown in the list where the correct hash is displayed (see screenshot below).
When I try to stage these phantom-modifications, I get this error:
>Error
staging error:
git error:repository path '' is not owned by current user; class=Config (7); code=Owner (-36)
