Fantastic.... worked perfectly. I'll write that down somewhere for the next time I do it :)

Is there a better way of handling sub-modules like that? I've looked at git submodules but just got into more of a mess. It would be nice to push a project complete with a (git) submodule upstream but it seems tricky or impossible.

Thanks :)
