That senctence can certainly be misinterpret, specially without the
sentence after.
With "the submodule system" I didn't meant the git implementation of
submodules but rather the use of multiple git-repositories connected in
some way.
The git submodule-commands is one way to achieve this, there's many
others, for example (part of) repo.
My goal is that the git submodule system should be good enough to be the
only submodule system needed to be used with git.
I'm sorry for being unclear in the proposal.
