Show unstaged modifications to submodules #124

If a submodule is associated with a git tag on a specific commit in the target repo, they'd want to know if there were any new tags with commits with a later date compared to the current one. This was some of the motivation for me mocking up a proposed Branch Manager view and sending it to you guys, which incorporated git tags and submodules as well so all these aspects could appear in the same view. |

git status
in the parent repository will show that the submodule has been modified.GitHub Desktop also shows changes have been made:

It would be helpful if Oxygen's Git plugin also showed modifications under Unstaged files.
