I agree that fetching should probably be left as a separate operation,
but if you have all the data, then I find it very inconvenient that
every time you switch to a different commit you have to update
all the subprojects separately too.
Did you change your mind about this part too?

The update in the superproject would fail if the subproject is dirty
(just as with files.)
