I have a super project with many submodules. Each kind of role may

Here comes my question: how to implement this elegantly? If all
submodules are put in the same .gitmodules, every role has to in the
command line manually designate all submodules to be checked out.

You could have submodules (roles in your case) containing
other submodules, as proposed in the thread that ends in
