submodules are 90% of the hassles I have  in upstreaming and updating the
bsd-user stuff. They play terribly with branches, rebases, and any number of
other things and are a pain to reset at times. They are easily the most
brittle,
error-prone and difficult to use feature of git.

I hate them with a burning passion. You are not alone.
