I am trying to create 3 submodules from the same git repo, each pointing to a different branch. Since the repo is somewhat large, I don't want the 3 submodules to clone the same repo 3 times, I want one clone and then have the 3 submodules to point to different commits.

Is this possible? If not, could it be added?
