Foldername displayed instead of submodule name in git window

[mathertel]

• VSCode Version: 1.27.2
• OS Version: Windows

Steps to Reproduce

in an existing project add a submodule. e.g.

git submodule init
git submodule add -b develop --name gimmick https://<server>/...gimmick.git portal\v0001

In the Git window the repository now is labeled with "v0001" instead of "gimmick".

Because having multiple versions in our project is essential we see multiple v00xx folders and easily get confused.

Please fix by displaying the module name given
