Submodules are _not_ simple at all. Our organization of nearly 100
developers using Git pretty much let out a collective cheer when we
finally removed the submodules. Submodules are an absolute pain to
develop within; there are a number of Git mailing list exchanges about
that, but I'd be happy to go into great detail if anybody cares. Even
submodules that are read-only are a pain as it takes two steps (git pull
+ git submodule update) to actually get them up to date.
Ick.
In short, if it is an absolute requirement to manage access to a
repository on a folder level, get Subversion or Perforce. DVCS is not
for you...
