And\nit would be kind of complicated to add, since you'd have to be able to\npush that branch to multiple repositories at the same time, and so on.\n\nI wrote git-subtree (http://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree) to solve\nexactly this sort of problem in my own projects.  It has a very\ndifferent workflow than submodules, but you might like it.\n\nHave fun,\n\nAvery\n"}]}
