Can you elaborate on your intermediate form? I don't understand how git submodules prohibit or restrict submodule evolution. The only difference I see with the submodule approach is that it requires an extra commit to update the submodule versions (and subsequently a pull followed by a submodule update in other clones), whereas the makefile approach only requires a 'make update' in the umbrella clones. Is there something else I'm missing?
Perhaps you're right. Maybe my impression that git submodules are frozen is out-of-date. It has been a while since I used them. Perhaps they're first-class checkouts that can be manipulated independently of their... supermodule. If that's true, perhaps they're an OK way of specifying a versioned subrepo manifest.
