What if I clone a repo then realize it was a mistake and remove it? With current clone, a "rm -rf" would do. With this, I'll need to figure out which subdir in the top .git contains the repo I want to remove. I'm not sure how "git submodule" handles this case though (i.e. total submodule ignorant speaking..) -- Duy
