Ignore submodules when calculating 'git diff-files'

This allows projects to include submodules inside of
projects that use repo without repo incorrectly believing
the area is dirty just because a submodule has updates.
This is in line with git porcelain commands which generally
require a commandline flag to include submodules (git add,
git rebase).
