  Now, service itself is not a submodule, and service is just a logical
  name for a group of moduels.

If I am not mistaken I can do it now as well, by "git submodule add
repo path". What would be the difference with this and your approach?

  Only the util module will be initialized using the path and url in
  submodule.util.{path,url}

I got that part as thats how git-submodules currently work; Actually
what I wanted to know is as util is referenced to several logical
submodules, will they be initialized as well? that means wherever util
is referenced it will be initialized; is that what it means?
