My git repository contains a symlink to another repository. I'd like
to make that second repository a submodule of the first, in such a way
that when someone else clones the repository, there's no trace of the
original symlink.
Is this possible?

Yeah. If you register the submodule and then commit, the first
repository would contain the submodule information, and anyone who loads
submodules in another clone will not see the symlink.
Cheers,
