This looks good. You'd want some tests to make sure that the "--submodule" and the "--submodule=<format>" command line options and the diff.submodule configuration variables are parsed correctly (and when combined, the command line option overrides the configured default), and of course the machinery does the right thing, with and without "--graph" when used in "git log". > diff --git a/Documentation/diff-options.txt b/Documentation/diff-options.txt > index e7b729f3644f..988068225463 100644 > --- a/Documentation/diff-options.txt > +++ b/Documentation/diff-options.txt > @@ -215,8 +215,10 @@ any of those replacements occurred. > the commits in the range like linkgit:git-submodule[1] `summary` does. > Omitting the `--submodule` option or specifying `--submodule=short`, > uses the 'short' format.

This is carried over from the existing text, but "Can be tweaked via" sounds a bit wasteful (and strange); "Defaults to" (or "The default is taken from") is the phrase we seem to use more often.
