Of course; however, as of yet it's coping admirably.  I think that it's mainly 
because submodules are, for external-to-git purposes, displayed as patches to 
a file.

That means that qgit is showing the initial addition of a submodule as the 
addition of a file (which nicely shows up green in the file list), and the 
patch itself as:

diff --git a/submodule b/submodule
new file mode 160000
index 0000000..f806cbe
--- /dev/null
+++ b/submodule

@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+Subproject commit f806cbe233f4568611be37213c266013b692db19

I still didn't test submodules compatibility myself, but in case of a
bug report against qgit probably I will be forced to do ;-)

I'll certainly keep my eyes open.  As I say though: no worries yet.
