IIUC, git sub-modules point to a specific revision of the external repository, right? So would projects still have to explicitly update to newer versions of the incubator code by changing that sub-module reference?
With the copy process we have now it is possible to update only part of the incubator code in a project. Is that a feature we would want to retain if using sub-modules?
