The first step would be to identify which git command is actually causing it.
Can you take your git-sh-prompt and run it step by step to figure out what
command is failing?
The next step after that would be to see if we can reproduce it in a reduced
test case (with no real data) so we can add a regression test and a fix for it.

so it's a
cd submodule
git <command>
that is failing?
