I can't comment on the patch but I find the goal very valid. I just
updated the submodule tutorial wiki to use "git submodule summary" in
addition to plain diff.

Me wonders whether the summary should be the default diff output, or at
least a builtin merge driver which can be selected using attributes or such.
