IMHO sharing of the admin submodule repository should even be possible
if I have a clone of kdelibs and kdebase independent of the big
KDE superproject.

It would be nice to allow submodule.<name>.repopath configs globally
in ~/.gitconfig, and cloning kdelibs should automatically do the
right thing, ie. use the already available admin repo for the kdelibs
clone.

I just realize that this should be already possible now by setting
submodule.<name>.url in ~/.gitconfig. It could automatically
use "git-clone -l -s -n ..." if the URL is local.
