I've been using Avery Pennarun's git-subtree (http://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree) for a while now and have been finding it very useful and problem-free.

Git submodules have been particularly problematic for me on a project which contains submodules which contain submodules. git-subtree "just works", without any futzing.

We've also had problems with less git savvy users dropping patches because they've occurred inside of a module.

It would be really nice if git-subtree became an part of git. Avery has submitted git-subtree in the past and has indicated a willingness to do so again if there was a good chance of acceptance.

Avery's announcment of v0.3 is also informative: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2010/2/4/22366

thank you, Bryan
