I suspect that this is a bad idea -- for the same reason as committing
to a subproject is a bad idea. The subprojects most likely have their
own external repositories -- and lifecycles of their own. The same
headname/branchname won't do.

A simple shellscript can help you here.

As you say, a bootstrapping shellscript can sort this out.

Sounds quite doable ;-)

(have to warn you though -- git is quite addictive. there's no going back...)
