see diff of commit on submodule in gitlab

Description

I have a gitlab that is working totally fine when I work with normal repositories. However, I added a github submodule inside my gitlab project. On my repo, I did after commit and push ( git push --recurse-submodules=check ) and it worked perfectly.

But now, I can see my commit on gitlab, but the diff isnt displayed when I browse it on my gitlab with chrome. All the commits on files outside the submodules are well displayed meanwhile.

Proposal

This feature had been implemented with Git 2.11 and its new git diff --submodule=diff . So we just need to provide this alternate diff in GUI
