Re: [RFC] Submodules in GIT

That's it: There is no need for a separate branch or repository. If you 
have the subproject's commit in the superproject's object database (and

elsewhere?

It would be much simpler to have subproject's commit in subproject object
database, and have it available in superproject's object database by the
way of alternates.

Otherwise when commiting new submodule state in supermodule you would have
to fetch all the needed objects (submodule mighe have evolved few commits
in history inbetween) into superproject's object database.
