I hear you but The Internet says submodules are a kind of a

Most issues I have read about is because they don't know how
submodules work. It's the same thing with most tools, if you
don't know how to use it the experience is going to be crappy.
I'm hoping the submodules can be automatically update, i.e. on
a push to some of the submodules. I'm expecting most work to be
done in the submodules and the super repository will be kept in
sync automatically.
We have been using git submodules for internal dependencies of
Sociomantic projects for quite a while. It is not perfect but it
works good if you defines terms of usage strict enough.
In this specific case I think it may work with help of few shell
scripts that may reside in same top-level repo. Actually I do
remember someone already trying that setup but can't find the
links now. Anyone with better memory?
