Well... submodules didn't seem to fit the job, because it seems that the sources of only one submodule at a time can be checked out. And in my case, I would need to have the sources of all submodules simultaneously. I was talking about subtrees, because I thought it could be a better tool for this job (and it had the reputation of being less cumbersome than submodules).

Maybe such a job cannot be done with pure git commands. Thanks for pointing me this "git-repo" script tool... the description seems to fit my needs! I will test it, and hope it will work on Windows (project is unfortunately very Windows-oriented, for the time being).

Thanks for you help!
Andreas THILLOSEN.
