Hi there
We use a lot of repo links that I'd like to use submodule support for.

Instead of doing git submodule add ~/module/a or even git submodule add git://myhost/module/a

I'd like to share a, and do something like

<<add value to .gitmodules>> ln -s a ../modules/a ?? do something to add 'A' to the index as a 'subproject commit' rather than a symlink ??

I'm stuck on the last bit - or is this not going to work?
