Yup, one line per submodule should be enough. But maybe it's nicer to
have the details /after/ the submodule name:

#	modified:   mod1 (Submodule has new commit(s), modified content, untracked content)

Then it fits more nicely with the output for files, no?

We could drop the "Submodule has " if people see it as a waste of screen
estate. Also i have no strong feelings about "content", i just happen to
think it is more appropriate as submodules can contain not only files but
other submodules too. Opinions?

Will send a patch for discussion as soon as i have something to show ...
