In the Git community the concept of a subproject is more powerful than what you just described. But we haven't implemented those concepts yet in a released version (however there are prototypes floating around for discussion). ;-) If all you want is an svn:externals type of hack, you can easily write a wrapper script to cd into the subproject Z and run `git pull`, merging in any recent changes from the upstream. But we haven't automated that, as our concept of a subproject is much more sophisticated and doesn't always mean update the subproject to the latest version. -- Shawn.
