[PATCH v2 1/2] gitk: show part of submodule log instead of empty pane when listing trees

From: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com>

Currently, selecting a name in the file list (bottom right) panel in "Tree" mode does not do anything useful if the name is a submodule. If gitk is currently showing a commit, the submodule names are not shown at all (which is very confusing). If the gitk is showing the uncached change, the submodules are shown, but focusing a submodule name causes a Tcl error to appear. And finally, if gitk shows the index, the submodule is presented as its bare name in the diff/file contents panel.

This change will show the first arbitrarily chosen number of commits.
