+--submodule[=<format>]::
+       Chose the output format for submodule differences. <format> can be one of
+       'short' and 'log'. 'short' just shows pairs of commit names, this format
+       is used when this option is not given. 'log' is the default value for this
+       option and lists the commits in that commit range like the 'summary'
+       option of linkgit:git-submodule[1] does.

 --color::
        Show colored diff.
