What about using nested checkouts? They work great with git as-is,
just add an .gitignore file.

As Linus points out, there are many good reasons why a top-level
commit should _not_ commit the nested subproject. And once you are
observing that rule, what's left then? git status and git diff <HEAD>
can show an aggregate of top-level and nested subprojects, but that's
ease-of-use -- not something only.

What is your show stopper?

cheers,


martin
