They would still be separated and self-contained repositories, but
with my suggestion the submodule repository would be moved out of the
working tree of the containing repository. Which I believe is a good
thing, especially when you switch from one branch in the containing
repository which had the submodule in './foo' to another branch where
the submodule is located in './lib/foo'.
