I'll tentatively queue this on jl/gitk-show-added-submodule-changes
and park it on 'pu', but I'd prefer it to come to me through your
tree.

I'll be tagging 2.0.0-rc0 later this week; if you have some
accumulated changes (I saw that your public repository has an
initial vietnamese translation patch that I still do not have),
please plan to get them in by the end of next week.

Thanks.
