no it won't.

For subprojects you really need a shared object repository.
In such a setup b/.git/objects would be a symlink to the parent
object directory.

On the other hand, you already have the same problem with
a/.git/objects.  If you really want to move .git outside of the
working directory you can always do so by using a symlink for
the entire .git directory.
