Application behave unexpected when there is `.git` directory inside repository used as project

[erectfully]

Long story short, I was self-hosting a Supabase which required to be cloned before deployment so I've cloned it to repository which was mine Gitbutler project, the repo didn't shown up which is fine. Later, application did not respond to my actions (I could move one file, then restart app, move another file and so on) not sure what causes such case, and I cannot reproduce it on-call however something is wrong down there. This may be also caused by submodules that we're used in some past point of time inside such repository. I think the screencast demonstrates the actual issue.

Thanks for reporting!

It's clear from the video that the application isn't responding as it should, and the log files could probably tell more.

Since submodules aren't supported, with the most recent version of GitButler (0.11.3 at this time) one might not be able to add the project at all.

Maybe you could retry with the latest version, and if it fails, share the log assuming it contains errors? Another test could be to remove and re-add the project to see if it now would be rejected based on submodules being present.

Thanks a lot for your help.

@Byron, I'm sorry, I no longer have the logs since I changed distro. Thanks for the tip on where to find logs – I'll use it if the issue happens again on my machine and upload them here.
