Hi!
Error fix:

import git
repository = git.Repo("/home/bat/Apps/fsoft/")
repository.submodules

Traceback (most recent call last):

@batchar2 Thanks a lot for the fix! This one should be easy to test, too! Could you have a look at test_config.py and add a test that reads such a file?
Also I am wondering what happens if a BOM is removed, and the file is changed afterwards so it gets written back to disk. If I remember correctly the UTF-8 standard assures files don't need a BOM to be decodable correctly?
