 - Extend "commit" objects for the toplevel project to record
   what subprojects with what head commits are contained at
   which subdirectory.

The suggested "bind" info in commit objects has the same problem
as the original overlay: if the superproject already has a
subdirectory kernel/, and there is an additional "bind" specification
in commits also for kernel/, what should be done?

So the gitlink object seems to be the only solution if we want to
bind git versions of subprojects into a superproject.

But as this seems to make everything quite complex and not-obvious for
a user, I am with Paskys simple subproject idea.
