so something about submodule submod appearing in untracked.

so may be new git 2.22.0? updated to 1:2.22.0+next.20190617-1 from experimental, still passed:

remembered that we are using bundled with annex git, so tried to force system one way and it also passed

Ran 1 test in 5.045s

also this failure was not observed in #3476 testing against 0.22.0 - https://travis-ci.org/datalad/datalad/builds/550815965?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification
so not yet sure what is the cause for the regression (or some change in conda-forge build env starting to trigger it).

[kyleam]

This should also be related to Git's change in treatment of repos with no commit checked out.

also this failure was not observed in #3476 testing against 0.22.0 -

That made me scratch my head, too, but it looks like that is because this test is only in 0.11.x.

I'll have a look.
