That was shot down by Linus and I agree with him.  "bind" was a
bad idea because binding of a particular subproject commit into
a tree is a property of the tree, not one of the commits that
happen to have that tree.

Yes. I think it would be a _fine_ idea to have a new tree-entry type that 
points to a sub-commit, but it really does need to be on a "tree level", 
not a commit level.

Would it also be possible to allow the "Tree:" line in the commit object
to refer to a commit, or does the root of the project need to be a
special case?
