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.=20 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 th= e only submodule system needed to be used with git.
