hoi :)

I think we should agree to one name for what currently is named submodule / subproject / dirlink / gitlink.

Or use one name for the low-level plumbing (have a tree entry which points to another commit): dirlink or gitlink and another one for the high-level UI think: submodule or subproject. But then we should use those names consequently.

Oppinions?
