This is almost ready but I would like to know what users of the
"floating submodule" think about this.

Thanks for working on this.

I do like to hear from potential users as well, because the general
impression we got was that floating submodules is not a real need of
anybody, but it is merely an inertia of people who (perhaps mistakenly)
thought svn externals that are not anchored to a particular revision is a
feature when it is just a limitation in reality. During the GitTogether'11
we learned that Android that uses floating model does not really have to.
