Honestly, I haven't the slightest idea how they work. My
understanding, which could be completely wrong, is that they are
full-fledged git repositories, and that additional metadata at the top
level takes care of understanding what ref is needed for each toplevel
project. If this is true, using them wouldn't simplify zit, but rather
make it more complex (and space intensive).
