And what is already there is a lot of meta information (see above). You

What information are you refering to?
Perhaps you have looked into my old branch?
The current implementation is in "module2".

For example, in the index, if it is a commit (i.e. a subproject), store 
the commit id (not the commit's tree id ).

This is exactly what I have done.

Especially, extend update-index to be able to store a commit 
instead of the tree.

Done, except that update-index never stores trees ;-)

Or else, do not change what is recorded in the index. Then, at commit 
time, you not only commit the superproject but also all subprojects.

But then submodules would be handled differently to files which I wanted
to avoid.

To push and pull you have to extend the tools as well. That is the next 
step.

Also done.
