Thanks for the hint, and I have corrected this.

As I said in the first email, the submodule way suffers from the multiple
commit problem: src and bin as two submodules of project, three commits (for
the 3 dirs separately) are needed when src directory changes and compiled
binaries being put in bin directory. It's annoying to have to give 3 commit
logs.
