In my company we recently started to use Git and we wonder how to share code and manage dependencies with Git? Use case: in project P we need to include lib-a and lib-b (libraries shared by several projects) In your opinion, what is the "future proof" solution? * Use submodule * Use subtree We know there is lot of PRO/CONS but I feel that subtree is "behind" in the race and the latest version of submodule work fine Suggestions are very welcome.

My personal opinion/expectation is to see submodules improving/advancing more than subtrees advancing in the near future. Though this is neither the official nor a strong opinion.
