These are gitlinks, that are used to implement submodules. I cannot tell if this is an expected behaviour and there is nothing to worry about, or you found a corner case bug, without looking at what the "one line of content" says, but if it says "Subproject commit " followed by 40-hex object name, then that is a perfectly normal behaviour. After doing these: git init bar cd bar git init foo cd foo ;# in bar/foo git commit --allow-empty -m initial cd .. ;# back in bar git add foo git commit -m add git show anybody who has a working Git would see the "diff --git" that shows 16000= 0 you showed above.
