Subject: submodule usage with links
Message-ID: <320075ff0803170652i75041745v7825915f153fa577@mail.gmail.com>

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?
