OK. That does sound like a useful thing to show, but AFAIK there is not currently a way to do so. Formats like --name-only and --raw are capable of showing a diff for the submodule entry itself, so they do. And we'd want to continue to be able to do that even when the diff.submodule config option is set. So I suspect it would need to be something like --submodule=name-only. I.e., allowing any diff format to be passed there. -Peff
