Hi Torsten,

Having used git submodules in a couple of projects I would shy away from
the added complexity which submodules introduce.  In my experience the
implicit requirement of submodules for users to execute 'git submodule
init' and 'git submodule update' commands whenever they update their
source code can lead to a lot of confusion.
