"bind" was kind of "mount tree" idea; I agree that adding subproject
commits to trees is better idea than adding commits or trees to
superproject commit object.

By the way, what permissions get the subproject tree?

I wonder if it makes sense to be able to add tag objects instead
of commit objects to trees (depeel to tree or blob)...
