As I recall, Junios initial plan was to have gitk-git as a submodule at
some point. I still thinks this is a good idea.

If we extends the submodule concept, of not only having a list of
submodules, but also state weather a submodule is 'active' or 'inactive'
we could easily get a _very_ customable git.git.

Imagine git.git only containing git. A 'git submodule init' would load
the default 'active' submodules (for example git-gui, gitk-gui and
gitweb), everything in contrib is 'inactive'. The point here is to be
able to ship references to nice things to have (contrib) but not force
the use (download, diskspace, etc.) of it.

If a user finds an other awesome "plugin" to use with git, it's easy to
add it to h{er,i}s repository with 'git submodule add'.

Once the code is downloaded to the git-workspace (via 'git submodule
update') the git build system ('make') would take care of building and
installation, just as it does today.
