AFAICT this is not the idea of subprojects-in-git. If you have to track 
the subprojects in the root project manually anyway, you don't need _any_ 
additional tool (you _can_ track files in a subdirectory containing a .git 
subdirectory).

But then you loose the fine grained commits of your subprojects. You 
only store the tree of the subproject when committing to the parent, not 
the entire history.

The more I get told about subprojects (I don't have a use for them 
myself), the more I think you are right: subprojects should not be 
integrated deeply into git.
