You know that I am interested, but sadly I don't have as much time to
really have a look / work on it as I'd liked.  But Linus' series
looks very good from what I've seen now.
Conceptually Linus approach is very much identical my prototyping work
and I am convinced that it is the right way to go.  Only his code is
much better (hey, it's Linus after all ;-) and about our branch-vs-HEAD
discussion, well we'll see how it works out.

Now, how to go on?
The next thing we need is a real checkout & merge support -- but that
is not that hard.
Then we need to think about how to handle the submodule object database,
e.g. when fetching.

I'd also like to be able to support bare supermodule repositories which
include all neccessary submodule objects.  But I guess we need some
more experience with submodules before we can solve that in a scalable
way.
