Perhaps write it and call it 'git sub' or something. Put them both
in, and let users decide which they want to use. Or, like git
subtree, maintain it separately.
Personally, I've avoided tools like repo because they seem to try to
kidnap my *entire* git experience, most of which is already fine.
It's just submodules that are crazy. I think it's probably similar
for other people.
