Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new app using the online app generator and download the .tar.gz file
2. Unzip the archive (e.g. tar xzf ..../app.tar.gz)
3. Enter the unzipped folder (e.g. cd helloworld)
4. Create a git repo from the (e.g. git init .)

Expected behaviour

A git repo should be created, no issues be reported.

Actual behaviour

Upon creating the new repo, I get

fatal: not a git repository: /home/christian/Dokumente/nextcloud-docker-dev/workspace/server/apps-extra/helloworld/../../../.git/modules/nextcloudappstore/scaffolding/helloworld

Looking at .git in the archive, it is a text file with a submodule link:

$ cat .git
gitdir: ../../../.git/modules/nextcloudappstore/scaffolding/helloworld

This comes from the fact, that the scaffolding template is inserted as a git submodule as much as I guess.

Browser

Browser name: Firefox

Browser version: 139.0.1

Operating system: Archlinux

Nothing was logged during browsing the app store. No errors were present or obvious. Just the output data (tar archive) is build in a sub-optimal fashion.
