If one likes the output from "submodule--helper list" so much, I
think your "ls-files" above should be the closest. There seems to
have existed some logic to squash unmerged entries down to a single
one, too (git-submodule.sh in Git 2.0.0 era has a module_list shell
function that shows what "helper list" should be doing), though.
I do actually like that submodule is hoisted out of the scripts but as a
matter of fact it seems that the openembedded folks relied on the
"submodule--helper list" call and with later git versions that doesn't
work anymore.

At the end of the day it's kinda their fault to depend on the
submodule--helper but it does hinder adoption of new git versions for
people using openembedded.
