Okay - I think you've put me right in another reply on this point - the 
submodule commit is in the supermodule; that was the part I hadn't got.

Yes, you can't separate it my just moving it out of the supermodule,
but you can always clone the submodule alone.

Ah - now that clarifies things a lot.  The fact that you can't separate it by 
moving it implies lots of things that take away many of my earlier worries.

have a look at http://git.admingilde.org/tali/git.git/module2.
If you want to try it out, have a look at t/t7500-submodule.sh on how to
create submodules.

Thanks.  I will look hard at this :-)  My apologies for bothering you so much 
with all these questions.  I just got a bit interested in it all :-)
