Yes, i was thinking about that too. But i have no idea if it would be a good or bad idea to extend git diff that way.

And for git gui it doesn't really matter. The only difference to my patch would be the line where the diff command is replaced with submodule summary (assuming the output would stay compatible). The rest of the patch is about handling that output, no matter how it is generated.
