Three suggestions I can offer:
1) After running 'git submodule init', look in .git/config. You can
change which repos the submodules point to from there, on a per-repo
basis, and not affect other people's checkouts.
2) Try using relative repo paths (like ../foo.git) in .gitmodules.
Then as long as your repositories are siblings of each other, if you
can check out one you can check out the other.
3) git-subtree (http://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree) does not
exhibit this problem.
Have fun,
