One solution that instantly pops in my mind is using git submodules.
They are buggy on Windows. The last time I've used them Git started
showing thousands of error messages, crashed and erased my repo and
commit history, but one of the last few commits were left in the
reflog so I managed to recover my files. It also copied the submodule
repo directory into randomly selected folders in an upper directory.
Maybe it's just an msysgit thing, but I'm never touching submodules again.
Er... what?
I certainly cannot say I've had the issues you describe. Submodules have
always worked flawlessly on Windows for me.
