I had a look at that; and my previous objection still applies: it blends two repositories. I'd rather they were separate. Having them separate is what makes my little hook scripts really simple; there is no special initialisation script needed, and the neither the supermodule nor the submodule needs special treatment; and there is no need for any alternates or new object type. If I want to forget about submodule support I just delete the .gitmodules file and it's all back to normal. I don't say you're wrong in your chosen method, and I don't say I'm right. I wasn't really planning on going much further with these scripts, they actually represent all that I personally want from a submodule system, I am sure others would want far more sophistication.
