Thanks for the pointer, but it doesn't handle one of my pet peeves with many repositories: fetching 25 repositories takes a long time. I have a "look at every repository and see if anything needs fetched or pushed" script; it takes about 0.5-1.0 seconds per repository. Turning 25 fetches into 1 makes it a lot nicer to use.

So of all the problems hoped to be solved by submodule support, I think your poor man's submodule support solves the ones I don't care about (tracking external repositories with merge resolution) but not the one I do (fetch/clone effort). :)
