This clearly shows that having the repositories of submodules in .git/submodule does not buy you enough to avoid duplication. (I don't see enough reason to place a repo for submodule X in project Y outside its "natural" checked-out directory in project Y. But then, I haven't followed the discussion. Please ignore me if above layout choice is for more than just avoiding duplication.) -- Hannes
