I understand you would want to separate the ref namespace, but I still do not see why you would want to have a separate object store, laid out in a funny way. Unless you are thinking about using rsync to transfer object store, that is.

Oh, I am not disputing that. If you want to use a single object store for both levels, I think that is a sensible thing to do. I just do not see the point of segregating submodule objects and supermodule objects in the single object store you attach to the supermodule. After all, any traversal starts from refs, so by segregating the ref namespace you would limit the extent of the traversal, no?
