So this is why it's really important that the submodule really is a git 
repository in its own right, and why committing stuff in the supermodule 
NEVER affect the submodule itself directly (it might _cause_ you to also 
do a commit in the submodule indirectly, but the submodule commit MUST be 
totally independent, and stand on its own).

An implication of this is that the entire administrative
responsibility for having some super-sub module interaction
lies entirely with the supermodule.

That's a good thing. I wouldn't want the openssl maintainers to have to 
bother with every project that uses their code, and I'm fairly certain 
they feel the same.
