title: Git status from project root shows submodule changes, but in submodule, none are available
body: <p>From the root of my project, the submodule seems to show changes to commit. However, when I change to that directory, no changes are waiting. How do I interpret this?</p>
  <p>Noting that changes from the submodules were added, committed and pushed from the root of the submodule and not the root of the project. Perhaps there lies the confusion?</p>
  <pre><code>$ git status
  On branch master
  Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
  
  Changes not staged for commit:
    (use &quot;git add &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to update what will be committed)
    (use &quot;git restore &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to discard changes in working directory)
          modified:   path/to/submodule (new commits)
  
  no changes added to commit (use &quot;git add&quot; and/or &quot;git commit -a&quot;)
  
  $ cd path/to/submodule
  
  $ git status
  On branch master
  Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
  
  nothing to commit, working tree clean
  
  $ git submodule status
  +bdaa5b15120853ab8c3b502733e7337e825c51a1 path/to/submodule(heads/master)
