BTW. Mercurial supports something similar by so called (unofficial) 
"forest extension":
  http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/ForestExtension

If I understand it corectly the mechanism follow idea of manifest-like 
file Mercurial uses, and is similar to one of the test implementations 
of submodule support before we had current "in core" version.

I wonder if Bazaar-NG has similar extension / plugin...


It would be nice to have comparison of submodule / subproject support in 
different version control systems...
