Not in the superproject, but you'll have your copy of the history
of the submodule in its own .git directory on your harddrive.

If the remote side vanishes you still have your local copy. And if
you need to share that with others you can push the submodule
somewhere else and adjust the .gitmodules entry accordingly.
