From the release notes:

  • When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init",
    the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
    $GIT_DIR/modules// directory of the superproject and referenced
    via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
    between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
    submodule in the tree without re-cloning.

This means GitX can't find the working directory anymore.
