Currently setting submodule.<name>.ignore and/or diff.ignoreSubmodules to
"all" suppresses all output of submodule changes for git-gui. This is
really confusing, as even when the user chooses to record a new commit for
an ignored submodule by adding it manually this change won't show up under
"Staged Changes (Will Commit)".

Fix that by using the '--ignore-submodules=dirty' option for both callers
of "git diff-index --cached" when the underlying git version supports that
option.

 * Pat, I've been carrying this in my 'pu' but I would prefer
   changes to git-gui fed to me through you.  Could you apply this
   so that I can drop my tentative copy?
