Now, to get everything to work seamlessly within such a commit thing

example, and have some rudimentary support for "git status" etc talking 
about subprojects that need to be committed.

this is exactly the status of my implementation at the moment ;-)

Well, it does not yet explicitly tell that a subproject diffs,
but it just creates a diff of the two commit objects.

I guess we need some command line option to say if we only want
to know about that the submodule changes or if the diff should
recurse into it.
