Before hacking away please share some design information about this.
Another thing:

It sounds like the workflow you want to achieve is similar to the one the android developers are using. They have a lot of submodules which need automatic updating.

The last time I checked they used repo (similar tool to submodules) together with gerrit.

AFAIR they wanted to switch to submodules and have gerrit automatically make the superproject commits for single submodule changes. Additionally if a change involves multiple submodules the developer should be able to tie them together using a superproject commit.

Have a look over there whether that workflow might help you?
Cheers Heiko
