When you use the option --submodule=log you can see the submodule
summaries inlined in the diff, instead of not-quite-helpful SHA-1 pairs.
The format imitates what "git submodule summary" shows.
To do that, <path>/.git/objects/ is added to the alternate object
databases (if that directory exists).
This option was requested by Jens Lehmann at the GitTogether in Berlin.
