If you were doing an efficient cgi script that renders history
of git managed projects, binding git as its subproject, and that
system can be built with either 'maint' (i.e. 1.5.2 series) or
'master' (i.e. ultrastable WIP towards 1.5.3), even though they
both might come from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/,
I think they should be registered as two separate logical
subprojects.

I agree strongly with this, and it's another good reason that we have
to be able to use something other than the URL as the key to look up a
subproject's repository location. If you use the URL it is impossible
to differentiate the two subprojects in this case.

Heh, you do not have to rub it in ;-)  I already agreed that
your three-level arrangement is easier to work with.
