It doesn't have fetch or clone support, but perhaps my poorman's submodule code will help you a bit, until real submodule support appears in git.

I've found it useful for myself, and with a little bit of massaging I don't think it would be hard to put fetch support in. I think it just needs a way of telling the remote end to switch GIT_DIR to a different directory.

"Merges" are handled by simply sorting out any conflicts in the module file (basically you pick one of the submodule commits) just as you would with any other file.

As I say - not fabulous, but gets me by.
