I found this confusing - what difference does the stdout make? If they
were the same stdout, one process could set a color for the other
process to follow, but it wouldn't be able to affect color changes
inside the output, right?

This seems to be of the same pattern as the others. I would write this
as:
Create diff_emit_submodule_.* functions that make its own coloring
decisions and migrate submodule.c to use them. This centralizes
diff output, including coloring information, in one file.
or something like that.
