[FEATURE]:Support the desktop version of the git submodules

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

The desktop version is unable to properly manage the sessions of submodules in Git.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

Desktop app: opening multiple git worktrees from the same repo replaces existing project #5638: Desktop app: opening multiple git worktrees from the same repo replaces existing project
[FEATURE]: Multiple model usage with git worktrees #6679: [FEATURE]: Multiple model usage with git worktrees
Concurrent sessions working on different repos interfer each other #4251: Concurrent sessions working on different repos interfere each other

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

I could confirm that this is not a duplicate: Others are all about git worktree, not git submodule.

Though they maybe related, both manifested as a root project directory under ".git" hidden directory that should not be used:

When will this function be launched? I really need this function.

Can confirm: When I try to open a project that is a submodule in the Desktop App (Mac, Version 1.14.22), the project folder is switched and not usable.

Opened working folder: /main_repository/sub_repository
What is actually opened: /main_repository/.git/modules

From the CLI, starting a project from the submodule repository is working fine.

Still an issue when trying to open a working folder that is a git submodule of another.

To stay organized issues are automatically closed after 60 days of no activity. If the issue is still relevant please open a new one.
