This should not happen by default. If you have a feature branch based
workflow, the merge is just what you want to see. And "git submodule
summary" is giving you the exact same information.

But I agree that this is suboptimal for your workflow. What about adding
a "Visualize These Changes In The Submodule" menu entry for the context
menu of a change in gitk just like the one git gui already has? Then the
user could examine the merges in more detail if he wants.
